One Summer Three Books!

The titles of this year's One Summer, Three Books have been revealed! First, I want to talk about this year's themes. For the elementary-age children, this summer's theme is "Make a Splash: READ!" and the young adults' theme is "Make Waves @ Your Library." Obviously, this summer is based around water. There's a great line-up of activities for all ages, it's going to be a lot of fun so don't forget to check the events calendar often!

Now on to the books, there are three different titles for three different age groups:

• For primary aged children (pre-k to 2nd grade), we have Swimmy by Leo Lionni (cover)


• For elemtary children (3rd to 6th grade), there's The Black Pearl by Scott O'Dell (cover)


• The young adults' (middle to highschool) book is Flush by Carl Hiaasen (cover)]

Each book looks really good, especially for their designated age group. I've read Flush and I loved it. Don't forget to look out for all the great activities the library has to offer this summer!
