Hello all!
With the roll-out of our online registration for this past summer reading program, we have found ourselves in a bit of a dilema. We have BOXES of Catch the Beat readig logs left over. I'd hate to just throw them away if someone could use them in a craft program. Maybe someone would like to create a hanging mobile or perhaps cut out select graphics to use as accents for their bulletin boards.
But then again, you may have left-over reading logs of your own to convert into craft ideas. If so, how will you use the leftovers?
Or if you don't have any leftover logs and you are brimming with ideas to cut, paste or laminate, feel free to ask for our stash. I'll gladly send some your way. *wink* *wink*

Summer is nearly over and I want to extend an early congratulation to all of you who spent an entire year planning for your 6-8 week summer program. *smile* In a matter of days, kids will return back to school ready to talk about their summer of fun at their local library. Whether it was by the traditional onsite registration or through the web via your ReadsinMa.org page, kids entered the library to participate in your summer reading activities. And if we regard reading as a form of physical exercise then we have had a hand in helping parents to prepare their 'athletes' to excel in school. I'd love to hear how you helped your kids dance across the finish line before our Wednesday morning October 3rd, 2007 Catch the Beat Summer Reading Wrap-Up workshop, feel free to share your Olympic story here. (And as with every contest, the first three bloggers who post will receive a new Sterling Publishing children's book from their fall collection.)
Note: Pictures of your 'race-to-have-fun' are gladly accepted.
