Summer reading

Enjoy your summer reading

When you read or listen to the books and stories this summer, either in print or online, substantial or short, keep track of the titles you discover. In summer, we have more time for inventive ideas, and you may like to take a picture of the book cover and put it in your blogger, take a photograph of you reading a book, or even create a photo story or do something else to display your reading.

The list of the titles that you will have created will be handy when we make tails for the library reading kites in August.

As you know, returning students with cleared accounts have the privilege to check out a double amount of library materials. 

Also, please check some digital reading resources.

Summer Reading

“... a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge.” 
 ― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones 

Thinking about summer break puts me in a mood of mashing the words found on web about reading and books into a poem!
