BalletGirl came home today very excited about that bag she was carrying, it had all types of treasures inside. What was in the bag? Books. If you or if she is anything like me, you will learn that a book can transport you to a new world, time, place in a matter of pages. If it is a good book it can grab you the moment you begin to wait. Now that she is older I see her picking more books that are actually familiar to me. Do you recognize any of the books below?

Even though we live in a small community, our library has always been involved in summer reading programs with related activities which encourage youngsters and their parents to become involved.  My grandchildren, even as pre-schoolers enjoyed these programs and checking out books.
These programs also introduce many youngsters to the library and books in an enjoyable way.  I often took some of my grandchildren’s friends with us.  Then their mom began taking her children and other youngsters.
The summer programs involve reading and related activities that make the library a popular gathering place.  Often there are guest entertainers and authors.
