This summer is a great time for kids and adults alike to catch up on their reading. We are fortunate to have a lot of inspiring reading programs for kids in this area to join.
First off there is Texas Reading Club 2011 “Dig Up a Good Book” which is hosted by the Texas Library and Archives Commission. It is here that you can find book lists, songs, coloring sheets, etc that are linked to the theme.
Our local Mansfield and Arlington Libraries are also hosting great summer reading kid programs! Click on the links below to learn more!
