This year, we will be participating in the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! program.  Children, 12 and under, can read and record as many books as possible each month on the reading log sheet.  When a book or 10 pages, is read by you (for the younger children) or your child, your child will color a book.  All recording sheets are due on the last day of each month.  Students can turn their reading log into the library or the school for their Pizza Hut BOOK IT! coupon for a free one topping personal pan pizza.  There is no purchase necessary to redeem the coupon. The drawing will be held on the next open library day and you will be contacted if your child has won the prize.  Each month will have a new prize for our drawing.  Happy reading!

We are taking a break until fall!
