Five ways to maximize your library this summer:
{with printables}

1. Sign up for the summer reading program. Free. Prizes. ‘Nuff said.

2. Use the online catalog at home to have books sent to your local branch, or renew a book if you’re out of town.

3. Audiobooks are great for your road trip, and movies for family fun night.

(read the book together first!)

Sharks (597), volcanoes (551.2), Lego inspiration (688.7), cooking (641), gardening (635),

5. Set a family goal to read a certain number of books and celebrate when you reach it.

 Family Reading Challenge 100 and Family Reading Challenge 50 printable lists.
All family members participate: read-alouds, independent reading, picture books, and audiobooks.
(If you’re already participating in #1, this shouldn’t be too hard)

    Great suggestions! Could you change the privacy settings on the Family Reading list links? I had to “request access” to both of them.

    Thank you, Jana! Sorry about the links. I fixed the setting so you should be able to access them now. 🙂
