Check it Out: Summer reading adventure begins

It isn’t officially summer until the library’s annual summer reading program launches, so I am excited to say that “Summer at Your Library” begins on June 15 — yahoo! Running through Aug. 15, learn more about this fun and interactive event for kids and teens by visiting www.fvrl.org and clicking on the “At Your Summer Library” graphic.

Thinking back on my childhood reading habits, I remember being incredibly interested in books about the world. And back in the day those books were known as encyclopedias. Fortunately, children’s nonfiction has evolved over the decades from a somewhat dry encyclopedic presentation to a more dynamic and interactive experience. Information is power, no matter the age.

Help young readers become engaged with the world by encouraging them to check out books filled with fascinating facts and information.

Today’s reading list is just a small sample of entertaining nonfiction title for kids, so be sure to search the library’s catalog for additional reads.

Get ready to have a library reading adventure this summer!
