Join our Summer Reading Club

We have something for everyone in our Summer Reading Clubs -- one for children, one for teens, and one for adults (this one is called "Pageturners").  Sign up online here:  http://slplsr.evanced.info/homepage.asp?ProgramID=17

 This year's theme is "Worlds of Wonder".  The book display cart in the Fine Arts Room is supporting this theme by displaying books on the wonders to be found in museums around the world!

May's new book lineup

Now that the rain has finally stopped (we hope!), come on down and take a look at our selection of fine books on the visual arts.  It just keeps getting better!
