Summer Reading : Talking Books

'Talking Books' in Spanish, Navajo, and Braille
This year the Summer Reading Program will have the theme, Talking Books. "If books could talk, what would they say...?" The State Library has planned it in conjuction with the Museum of New Mexico's Lasting Impressions: The Private Presses of New Mexico exhibit. The museum's show presents New Mexico literature "through the work of its artisan printers. On display are books, broadsides, presses and tools of the printers' craft." Joint activities are planned with the Summer Reading program.
      Summer Reading at SFPL will run from June 14th through July 29th. Kids can register at the kickoff party on June 14th. The schedule of activities, parties, craft programs (making books!!), etc. will be ready soon. Ask in the children's room the next time you are in the library.
