Have you read your books yet?

We're already in July, only 6 weeks of summer vacation left, have you read any books yet?

I often hear kids say, "I'm bored" and frankly, I'm surprised. I find that there is not enough hours in the day (or night) for me to do everything I need to do - housework, errands, stuff for work, and reading! Boredom??? Who has time for that?

There is a book out there that will make you forget about time and place...that's what it means to get caught in a book - one of the best feelings in the world! So visit your public library or the local bookstore and grab a book. Take your time and browse until you find the book that is right for you!
