Summer Programs (a partial list)
Fizz, Boom, Read! — This year’s summer reading program bulletin board challenges you to think about what you read. For every book you read, add a marker to the bulletin board in the appropriate column — fiction / non-fiction, adult / child. Who reads more fiction? More non-fiction? More books? Let’s see how kids and adults stack up.
