TOPIC

Summer Reading & Summer Reading Programs

It's summer, and in LibraryLand that means summer reading and summer reading programs are upon us. This week that's what we're going to talk about, our inspiration article is Read A Book And Win A Ferrari! It’s The Summer Reading Club! by Roz Warren over at HuffPost. If you're at all like me and your library doesn't do summer reading for adults, you might be interested in the BookBub Summer 2017 Reading Challenge, I'm doing this one with my student assistant at work. My library card is getting a good workout lately thanks to it.
