Here at BookPeople, we believe that there is nothing better to do on a lazy summer day than to dig into a great book. And that’s why our summer motto is Carpe Librum! We say: Seize the summer, and seize the book!
In this spirit, we’re happy to once again offer a free summer reading program for all our young readers going into grades K-8.
How to get started: Come to BookPeople to pick up a summer reading bookmark for your age level. You are going to want to hang on to this because it’s also your reading tracking form that you’re going to use all summer and turn back in to us before school starts.
What you get to read: We have put together a great list of 6 recommended paperbacks per age group. You get to choose at least three of these recommended books and up to three books of your own choosing –for a total of 6 great books– to read over the summer. Check out the lists below to see the choices for your age group.
