As an effort to keep students reading during the break, the library is hosting a summer reading challenge. Students who participate will create a google slideshow for each book they read in hopes of receiving a prize.
“Our main goal is to get Mavs reading for fun,” Librarian Laura Glaser-Falli said.
The slideshows will be posted on the library website over the summer as recommendations for anyone looking for a good book. Students who have registered to take part in the challenge are invited to a kick-off party on June 1.
“We just want kids to read more for fun,” Librarian Amelia Lewis said. “There is nothing better than reading a scary story in the late hours of the night and turning off the lights, wondering what kind of creepy crawlers are lurking under your bed. Or reading a book that by the end leaves you sobbing and reaching for chocolate and dying to talk with a friend about what they thought about the book.”
Students interested in participating should stop by the library for more information.
