SUMMER TIME READING FOR KIDDOS!

Stop by for your packet of recommended readings for summer!  This list of fiction, non-fiction, and read-alouds ranges in ages from elementary through high school, and was compiled by Weld District Six librarians…many thanks, ladies, for taking the time in your very, very busy “end-of-the-year” schedule to do this for us.  A special thanks goes to Kifi Kanagy, librarian at Christa McAulilffe, who directed this project.

We want to recognize and reward our summer readers….so, stop by the store for more details.  We will post names, numbers of books read…(as they are read)…and reward in August for all participants, as well as the reader (in each grade level) who has read the most books from our list.
