Library

Looking for some fun this summer?

Visit the Baltimore County public library to become a "Partner in Literacy." This summer

reading program is designed for students of all ages. The themes are Read to Me (Birth to age 5),

Be Creative @ Your Library (K-5th), and Express Yourself (6-12). Reading over the summer

is an important and highly effective way to achieve better performance in the new school year.

Students can register online at http://www.bcpl.info/kidspage/summerreading.html

or visit the library with a parent/guardian to participate in the

Summer Reading Club.
