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!
