Favorite book for the summer reading program
What is your favorite title for this summer’s reading programs? Either for “Get a Clue @ your library®” or for the teen theme “YNK @ your library®” – let everyone know! Share your favorite title and learn about other titles you may want to add to your collection before summer arrives.
You’ll hear all about my favorites at the summer reading program workshops in February and March.
I have been on a non-fiction reading binge this past week as I want to book talk non-fiction titles this summer. Some of my favorites from this week are:

Enjoy! Over and out…
I just finished reading “The Case of the Missing Marquess” by Nancy Springer. I found it to be a fun, quick read about a young girl (yeh!) who solves a crime. It is about 5th-9th grade level.
