Hello young readers: If you like puzzles, games, story starters and more, you will love this page created just for kids. NO ADULTS ALLOWED.
This month we celebrate two of my favorite things — Libraries and reading. National Library Week happens in April. It is a time to celebrate libraries everywhere and all the wonderful things they do for us. Books, computers, special programs and events — libraries do it all.
April is also D.E.A.R.: Drop Everything and Read. Dive into a good book. A book can take you anywhere. Happy reading!
