I Found It At The Library! (published July 4, 2008)
In the Reading Club, children birth to age 11 read/listen to a minimum of two books per week over a four-week period in June and July to receive a weekly prize. (Books from home may also be recorded.) Reading logs will be given out at registration. This year reading club members will use a FAST PASS when turning in the number of books you read or listen to. Fast passes will be available at the Circulation Desk!
Summer is a great time of year for children to choose books and discover the true joys of reading.
