It's not too late

It seems summer vacation just started just a few weeks ago and now it's almost over. Have you done your summer reading? It is not too late! You have 24 days left before the first day of school - that's more than enough time to get some books from our school library, the public library or your favorite book store.

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!
