Summer Reading Programs

Combat the summer brain drain this summer with reading!  Sign up your kids and possibly yourself for your local summer reading programs at your local library.    I signed up for an adult reading program (at my local library) and each week I submit what books I finished.   I did the same thing last year and won a gift-card!

Check out the other fun reading programs that are available this summer:
