Summer Reading Program

No words are adequate for how pleased I am with the Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD)! During the school year, we spent almost every Thursday afternoon at the Fountain library. Every other week we had a unique science lesson and hands-on experiments and, on in-between weeks, we made some cool crafts with lots of creative freedom. The kiddos looked forward to it each week and hated to miss.
This summer, we signed up for the summer reading program and it certainly hasn't disappointed either! Both kids love reading and being read to, but the logging of reading time and the prize earning have been so motivating! I'm taking some tips from that into our school plans for next year! ;)
Each week this summer, we are able to participate in free events, sponsored by various public libraries all around the city, in conjunction with summer reading. We have seen some great shows for sure! Below are some pics of shows we have seen and participated in over the past few weeks...

We are so thankful for all the libraries that open their doors and share different programs with children and parents. We enjoyed our library visits with the children when we visited recently. What a blessing for the city of Colorado Springs.
