We too are having fun with this years SRP!Eveleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154649481632827304.post-483970596920800222011-06-17T06:02:15.177-04:002011-06-17T06:02:15.177-04:00Summer is a dim but longed for memory where I live...Summer is a dim but longed for memory where I live right now. But my ideal summer read is a waterproof one. I love to read in the pool but hate to damage my books, so audio books work well. Aside from that, I am looking forward to reading some new picture books I want to review; and my next adult books will probably be Eyewitness Travel:Prague, and Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind.BookChookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230711251425187241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154649481632827304.post-186618571947675392011-06-16T15:41:04.420-04:002011-06-16T15:41:04.420-04:00Wow, looks like we are on to something!

What a great group of kids --perfect size and perfect ages and wonderful conversation. <br /><br />The Summer Reading Program here at Books for Walls Project is a HIT! Accidental Librarian, we can share our Reading and Story Journals --we'll work on getting a donation so we can make a bunch. Starts July 6th, already we have some kiddos on board that need help finding books and are willing to ask our BFWP Readers and our growing list of Librarians to help!!<br /><br />Stay tuned!!!! And thanks to all who helped (and are helping) us with the program!!Books for Walls Project (The Four of Us)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13373991753981101091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154649481632827304.post-87938962471223510982011-06-16T12:15:35.008-04:002011-06-16T12:15:35.008-04:00It's funny...summer reading is hot for schoolk...It's funny...summer reading is hot for schoolkids who have the freedom to choose whatever reading material they want, and I'm assuming that reading time for adults is primarily winter. Mine summer reading is practically frozen!<br /><br />But, being the accidental librarian means running my own summer reading program at my tiny library. It's interesting how mostly young children participate, and there's a big gap of participants in the pre-teen and teen group. So, I'm on the slow quest of figuring out how to reach everybody (essentially every librarians quest!)...and how to keep the program about the books, not the crafts and snacks!<br /><br />So...if you participate in a particularly fascinating summer reading program, add that to your post here! All librarians will appreciate!Accidental Librariannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154649481632827304.post-2729555535230580292011-06-15T13:14:25.805-04:002011-06-15T13:14:25.805-04:00The kids do have a summer reading list and they ar...The kids do have a summer reading list and they are not hot on it.

The Sisters are asleep and will be for a while --they were up late reading!<br /><br />I did do something different this summer in hope of helping The Sisters enjoy the summer. We did not sign up for anything, no lessons, no classes --nothing! And we are working hard to keep the schedule as unscheduled as possible --so the girls can just while away the hours doing whatever they please.<br /><br />Working on the BFWP Summer Reading and Story Program is a simple way for us to stay in tune with alllllll the good books out there.<br /><br />Personally, I plan to bring stack of books along when we camp and at least one in my purse at all times. I am in the middle of all sorts of research so there is always a book to read --now to just try to ignore everything and read... that is the trick!The Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08424375888861598744noreply@blogger.com
