A child is upside down looking under the bed for those lost books.
Don't worry about what the kids will read over summer break because so many different programs, challenges, and lists are available to keep everyone motivated. I will add more as I find them. Check back throughout the summer!

You can share that joy with your children through the Pizza Hut Camp Book-It program.

Our Objective: 

“To learn literacy and research skills and explore the world together, as a community.”

To accomplish this we must-

1- Keep the library space and its users safe.

2- Provide a wide variety of quality, up to date, and age appropriate research materials.

3- Provide a diverse selection of fiction materials so that every child can find themselves, their families,

  and their peers represented in ways that are both positive & realistic.

4- Provide materials that encourage more reading and more research as well as creativity, responsibility, and independence.

5- Provide opportunities for guided technological exploration and skill building.

6- Schedule time for every class to use the library resources on a regular basis.
