Last year we really didn't participate in the summer reading programs, but this year, my 10 year-old is very eager.
They have programs for teens and adults too.
So far, most of the kids (and myself included) are going to read, read, read.
The program this year pertains to cooking. Guess who is going to show up with her apron? He he!
My 10 year-old dd also feels her age books are boring. I walked her to the adult section and gave her books to read by Joanne Fluke - great mystery books with recipes included. She, like me, looooooooves a good mystery.
Are any of you participating in summer programs with your kids?
The kids meet by themselves at the library, but I can simply read books and write reports on them for entries into a contest.
Guess what 2 prizes are?
Vintage aprons!

Our local library also runs a summer reading program, I've signed the kids up for the past few years. I know they also have reading programs in place all year for adults too (like different book clubs). Love the library :)

Our summer program has ended, but the winner of the adult drawing will be announced on Monday. They are giving away antique aprons and a Kindle.
Also, I wanted to share a series that I just love, and have been reading for years - Lucy Stone Mysteries by Leslie Meier.

Yes! I went and got three books to read! I think I'm more excited to understand this recipe thing you ladies talked about than even read the story.  Sadly, I haven't had time to start any of them, since DH has been away this week, but he comes home today so I should have an hour or two soon.

I finished the book! I had to read while the cornbread baked, while the sweet pickle relish boil sealed, and in between other stuff, but got it read. Now.....onto the next book.
I have to share this too. I sit and knit at the library (unless I'm reading) while I wait for the program to end. I met another mother who has hives and sells honey not far from my house. I had no idea and we chatted for the entire hour. You never know what you encounter when you knit in public. People always want to know what I'm knitting. I did check out some more knitting magazines while I was there too. Fun, fun, fun.

I read an entire book in one sitting on Sunday. I haven't done that in years.

DD wore her apron to the library yesterday (for the first program). She's having lots of fun.

Enjoy your reading activities at the Library!
