Tips for Successful
Summer Reading
Earning points toward prizes is one incentive to keep reading, but what if you need more tips on how to stick to your reading goals or help your kids keep reading? Reading Rockets offers summer reading tips for parents, including:
  • Read aloud together every day and make it fun by finding different places to read like the patio or a park.
  • Let kids choose what they want to read, even if it’s popular fiction or something they’ve read a million times.
  • Set a good example! When it’s time for your child to read, pickup a book yourself!
Library Reads
The June list of librarian favorites includes historical fiction, romance for many tastes, suspenseful tales, and more. Find out more about each selection and place holds here.

Looking for:

Global Road Warrior is one of our best resources for people planning vacations. But did you know it's got a world of information for armchair travelers, too? Read articles about history, holidays and festivals, music and more. Take a look at antique postcards like this one from Austria in 1905. Then, when you're ready to travel again, learn what you need to know about customs, money, tipping and even which electrical adapters to bring. And you can get it all in one place, from home, free with your library card!
