Book Swap for Summer Reading

EndofYear 099

Around 2,500 books left in the hands of Club Blvd.'s eager readers this week. 500 of these books were donated by Read Seed, a community organization that helps children build a library of books at home. Stop by their office at 3020 Pickett Rd. in Durham every Tuesday and receive a free book! As students visited the Swap they learned about the 'summer slide' that can happen if they don't read over the summer. Karlene Fyffe from the Durham County Library was here to talk with students about signing up for the summer reading program at the public library. Miss Stitsinger encouraged K-2 students to challenge themselves to 75 days of Summer Reading and 3-5 students have a READO card to guide their reading this summer. Remember that the Club Blvd. Media Center is open every Wednesday this summer from 8:30-5:30pm for book check-out! Have fun reading this summer! :)
