BE CREATIVE @ YOUR LIBRARY!

The Arizona State Braille and Talking Book Library is offering two Summer Reading Programs for our youth patrons.  The programs run through August 15, 2009.

BE CREATIVE @ YOUR LIBRARY is for preschoolers through 6th grade.  Express Yourself @ Your Library is for teen patrons.  Readers in each club will earn a prize for every three books they read!

As an added bonus, Arizona State Parks is providing coupons for children who participate in the Arizona Summer Reading Program this summer.

Reading Club members can read talking books or Braille books from the Talking Book Library, or books from their local public library.  They can also read books they download from other sources.

When your child finishes reading a book—or books!—call or email John at 602-255-5578, Toll-Free at 1-800-255-5578; or jberkeland@lib.az.us.

Research shows that reading throughout the summer helps students retain the skills and academic progress they’ve achieved during the school year.

If you have any questions or need more information, please call or e-mail John and ask!

Happy Reading!
