Summer reading

There are a lot of books out there that make for great summer reading (13 Little Blue Envelopes and Stormbreaker come to mind). This is also the summer of Harry Potter, with book 7 (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - and yes, I've ordered it and it should be in the library by September) and the movie version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix both being released in July.

The Cumberland Regional Library (CURL) is putting on a Teen Summer Reading Club for everyone in grades 7-12 this summer, and for every 2 hours you read this summer you could win a prize. Prizes include an iPod, so it's definitely worth entering! You can pick up ballots at any branch of CURL or print them from their website at http://crl.library.ns.ca/. Good luck!

Finally, here are some summer reading lists that have lots of good books listed if you run out of ideas:

Enjoy your summer!
