School Librarians Are Rockstar Resources

One of my favorite activities, when my son was younger, was walking to the public library and spending time finding books to read together and then later for him to take out books on his own. We are fortunate, our public library is very close to where we live and it’s air-conditioned; so it made for an excellent, free, summer activity.
We’d stay there for hours sometimes, reading together and engaging with the displays that were available.
When Logan was older, he was lucky enough to have a librarian in his elementary school who noticed he was a reader and always engaged him to “help” other students who didn’t like to read as much. He’d come home with projects she’d ask him to complete.
