First (official) Day of Summer Reading
My summer reading planning begins in November/December, but for the general public today is the day that our Summer Reading Program officially begins. I got to work an hour early to make sure the adult and young adult links on the website were working, updated the Facebook page, and finished getting everything in the right spot when we opened up at 9:00 am.
Let me just say, we’ve had over 250 pre-register for the program before today and already we’ve had over 100 more kids register for the program. And so far, (keeping my fingers crossed) there have been no major snafus. It has been an absolutely crazy day and I’m trying to keep my smile on and my enthusiasm at its peak so that kids are excited to be reading this summer. We have something for everyone this summer with some new programs, some old favorites, and of course a lot of great books!
I’ll be posting tomorrow with a book review or two as I am a little behind in my review posts and maybe a great story about signing up for summer reading.

I’m interested in some of the art work you use. I’m a member of a nonprofit org in CA. As part of our program to help make better readers in our public schools, we give new books in a book bag to kids every year. We are looking for a logo for our book bags, How did you acquire the images you use? Are they in public domain? We esp like the porcupine reading on the blog for 17 June, Summer Reading. Appreciate any information you can find about permission to use images. Thank you.

The artwork we use is actually supplied by the Collaborative Summer Library Program (http://www.cslpreads.org). They are the ones who contract artists to help with the summer reading theme artwork. I hope this helps!
