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!

Kristina- I love good mysteries as well! I think my all time favorites were the Dorothy Sayers Lord Peter Whimsy series. Totally addicting for me!! Have you read the Tea Shop Mystery series? They are so fun and come with recipes highlighted in the book. Easy to read but great characters.
Enjoy your reading activities at the Library!

Well this post is motivating! I just happened upon it and now have three authors to look up at my library!

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.

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 :)
