Summer Reading Lists!

Summer is upon us! Schools are getting out, kids running a muck, and it's time for a summer reading list!  

This year's theme for the kid's summer reading programs, if your library is part of the nation wide theme, is "Dig into Reading."  For teens, the theme is "Beneath the Surface."
