Summer Reading Programs: Library, Barnes & Noble and Pizza Hut

Summer is here and so is one of my favorite summer activities, the Summer Reading Program at my local libraries.  Like the rest of us, summer reading programs have grown to include not only young children, but teenagers and adults.  If you haven’t done so yet, stop by your local library (or libraries if like us you have both San Jose Public and Santa Clara County libraries nearby) and get started.

Don’t forget audio books.  Especially during your summer travels.  Books on CD and audio tape can be found at your local libary in addition to Overdrive which is an e-book and audio book repository used by libraries throughout the county.  Your local library card is all you need to check out this great free service.  Audio books are anywhere from 30 minutes for young readers to twenty one hours for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Besides Overdrive, I recommend Amazon.com, Simply Audiobooks, and iTunes.

Libraries are not the only organizations promoting summer reading.  Books can be earned at Barnes & Noble and Pizza Hut is sponsoring Brain Food Summer Reading Fun.  Winning entries will receive Pizza Hut gift cards, books and the grand prize winner will receive an Nintendo DS Lite with Big Brain Academy game.

Remember the goal is to have your child read at least 5 books during the summer.

Free Golf Clinics throughout Summer 2008

The NCGA Foundation has partnered with local First Tee chapters and Total Golf Adventures to create an extensive schedule of free youth clinics. The Foundation intends to introduce new kids to the game of golf and welcomes all skill levels as part of the program. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about putting, chipping, and the full swing, all while being taught important life skills and core values. For a complete schedule please click here.

Free Audio Book Download: Anne of Green Gables

Simply Audiobooks’ free download this month is Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Just click on the link, supply your name and email address to download the book. No credit card necessary. My family loves audio books of all kinds. The current favorites are The Chronicles of Narniaicon and the NPR Star Wars Trilogy radio adaptation.icon

Don’t forget that audio books can be used for most library summer reading programs. Simply Audio Books offers a free 15 day trial and a special coupon for Father’s Day purchases: Father’s Day Special. Coupon code: FORDAD.
