Library summer reading program
Ahhhh. Back-to-school season. Remember that Staples commercial playing "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year"? Moms and dads are smiling and dancing. The kids are frowny. LOVE IT!
In SoCal where I live, the first day of the school year in some districts is this week!
When I was in school, waaaaaaaaaaay back in the last century [literally], it always started the Tuesday or Wednesday after Labor Day. Here's a really informative CNN article about why the school year now usually starts before Labor Day.

Anyone can sign up, even adults. Prizes include free books, games, puzzles, and other fun stuff. Here's a puzzle one of my kids won last year:
The first year I participated, I won the grand prize! An iPad Mini. I still use it today to read e-books.

My kids love the summer reading program. My hubs and I participate too. Once we won a Target gift card in a raffle, and my daughter got a Hydro Flask, in addition to the standard gift bag of coupons when you turn in your first sheet. Winning a puzzle sounds really cool! bkerekes@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI work for a before and after school care program and we gave out books the first day to the children I love promoting reading and good will. Becky Fettig
ReplyDeleteI wish they had this when I was in school. I set a goal for myself in middle school to read every Goosebumps book. I couldn't complete it because the school didn't have the entire series. XD I don't regret trying. It's still a series close to my heart. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you all for commenting! I love our library summer reading program and glad you enjoy yours too.
