If you have children, your first stop after their last day of school should be to the local public library. Nearly every library has some kind of Summer Reading Program: most states belong to the Collaborative Summer Reading Program. The art this year is fun and festive celebrating the theme "Be Creative!" There are libraries who have special programs for very young kids, teens and even adults. Summer Reading helps to keep children up at the same reading level all summer as to not lose what they've been learning all year. It also serves as a way to spend time together as a family, enjoying the special programs at the library. For many of our families whose belts are tightening as a result of the economy, the library is becoming absolutely essential from the access to books and music, computer and internet access, and special educational and fun programs. So head on over to your library...and make sure you thank your librarian for all they do. Libraries change lives!
