Jess Townes introduces us to some innovative teachers and librarians going beyond the book in their summer reading programs. For more on summer reading, listen to the ATW podcast with summer reading champion Kate DiCamillo.
Lauren Davis reflects on what summer reading meant to her as a child, and what she hopes it comes to mean to her own kids, in this meditative and personal piece.
Kate DiCamillo, author Raymie Nightingale and the 2016 National Summer Reading Champion, stops by the podcast on behalf of the Collaborative Summer Library Program to talk about reasons to read this summer, some titles from her recommended reading list, and her habit of always making other people read books.
