You can have fun, keep up your reading skills, and win prizes.
Sign up for our Summer Reading Challenge here
A note from Carol Simon Levin, the writer of this blog. I have been having blogger problems and have not been able to post using my usual program. Accordingly, this is a "quick and dirty" post without the usual graphics and other items I usually include. I hope to be able to find a work-around and resume the posts in the previous format sometime in the future. Thanks for your patience!
