I don't know about you, but I tend to start off the summer by saying, "YAY! I survived the intense school year! Now I can spend the summer resting and getting eight hours of sleep." Then summer programs, camps, sporting events, and vacations happen, which results in me looking back at the summer wondering where it went!
With life constantly feeling like it is speeding up, it's easy to let some of the important things fall behind. For instance, some kids have a hard time setting aside time to read during the summer due to busy schedules. Reading aloud for fifteen minutes everyday can significantly increase your child's chances at school, which is still important during the summer months. View more information about reading aloud here!
With our busy schedules, wouldn't it be awesome if there was some way to download books and audiobooks on our handheld devices?
*Insert QVC seller voice here* Well I have some fantastic news for you! With your library card, you have access to hundreds of FREE books and audiobooks online!
Have you been waiting to read the latest Harry Potter novel? Great news - it is available here!
Maybe you're a Pete the Cat fan? Well, you're in luck! We have 26 Pete the Cat books waiting for you here!
How do I sign up?
First you need to get out your library card, or other forms of identification provided to you by a library staff member, and follow the instructions on this screen:
Find the library that you use, then enter your library card information and pin.
Now you can enjoy audiobooks in the car with the whole family, offer your early readers a selection of picture books that will read every word to them, and you can keep your middle readers entertained instead of hearing, "are we there yet" for two hours straight.
During the business of summer, don't forget to relax with a good book!
Happy reading!
Love, your Bubbly 'Brarian,
Haley
