Sam I Am Part Deux

Local libraries have also thrown themselves into the battle on kids summer playtime. They have been battling it for years now and actually have made amazing progress. Many times they get the kids in by offering toys and free books, sometimes they'll even throw ice cream into the mix. Basically, all you need to do is call or visit your local library and ask at the reference desk. I'm sure they'll be happy to help you out and get your kid(s) involved. Just beware, many times they offer Adult Summer Reading programs, though the prizes don't seem to be as plenty, they do usually offer something.
