Hey guys its gettng close to that time of year that kids cant wait for!! The end of the school year. I would like to remind you all that there are some great programs at the library for your kids this summer such as tea parties and a reading program on Fridays. Be sure to get your children signed up for these free programs. On average a child who doesnt study or do some short of school based learning over the summer will lose about two months worth of previous learning. If you are not sure what level of reading you child is on be sure to ask their teacher before the end of the year. Remember anyone can be a teacher. I hope to see some of you at the library this summer. Have a safe and fun summer.
