Summer Reading
Summer Reading for Incoming Grades 7-12
If you returned a "Grab Bag Summer Reading " selection card to the library, you should have received up to three (3) books. You also should have found a fun, small Summer Reading Survival Kit in your bag. In that bag is a coin for the book vending machine. Here are other ways you can earn coins with summer reading:
write a book review on one of the books--this should be your best work!! Write a rough draft first, check it with a parent or grandparent -or me--before your write your final draft!
create a shelf-talker for one of the books--again, this should be your best work!! Write a rough draft first, check it with a parent or grandparent -or me--before your write your final draft!
return all three books in the fall
complete a Titan Bingo Card and bring it in to me in the fall
return any of your books and sign out more (see my library hours below)
Everything you need to know about the summer reading activities is on this page, but please feel free to email me if you have questions.
IF you would like to exchange your summer reading books because you finished them, please know that I will be at Taconic Hills in the HS Library from 10-12 on the following Wednesdays: July 13, July 20, July 27, August 3, and August 10.
Happy Reading!

Shelf-Talker:
A shelf talker is a mini sign attached to a shelf that attempts to reach out and grab someone's attention as he or she is browsing shelves. It is designed to motivate someone into purchasing a certain product. A shelf talker is almost always attached to the shelf where the product is located and is used by many retailers for their products. Bookstores and librarians use shelf talkers as well to promote specific titles. Shelf talkers are appropriate for fiction or nonfiction titles.
Here is an example:
Make your shelf-talker colorful and informative! Be creative! Your goal is to entice other readers to read the book!
