Growing up, I looked forward to the summer reading program every summer break. It was exciting to head to the library to officially get signed up and we looked forward to visiting each week to check out new books and get our logs signed off. One of the treats we earned was going to Lakeside Amusement Park as our reward for completing our goal. Thanks to my mom for keeping us on track, I now have such a strong love for reading! I'm happy that the library has kept the tradition going so our generation of kids will learn from it too!
