ear Parents, D
We are proud to present our Vacation Reading Program.
We hope that with the help of this program families can spend
plenty of enjoyable time reading, which includes reading
independently or reading to one another. We believe that
during vacation it is important to allow for plenty of time for
your child to play, relax and be with friends and family. This is
why the main goal of this program is to give children the
opportunity to enjoy reading, and instill a life long love for
books and the written word. This is also an opportunity to do
what research suggests as the most effective strategy to help
children retain the skills they worked so hard developing all year
long.
If your child wants to participate, just have your child keep
track of the books she/he has read during vacation using the
reading log on the last page of the booklet. When vacation is
over, your child can turn in the reading log to the library to earn
a special certificate.
In this booklet, you will find a variety of information
regarding the use of the library, from statistics to online access.
You will also find a list of the benefits that reading brings famous
authors, recommended books and resources online.
Enjoy the vacation, and enjoy reading!

audiovisual, and electronic resources in its data base. These
resources are available for a population of 1,342 costumers also
registered in the same data base. Graphic No.1 shows the
following percentages: 45% of our customers are students from
1st to 5
th grade, 13% are elementary teachers, 11% administrators
and the 29% left is an increasing group of parents that have
been requesting services from the library.
The library data base registered a total of 30,150 loans during
the current 2011-2012 school year. Graphic No.2 indicates that
56% of the total of resources was checked out by elementary
students, 23% by teachers and administrators and 20% by

Good
Reasons to Read By Ms. Nancy Carr.
1. You have entertainment no matter where you are.
2. It is truly a skill for life.
3. It builds vocabulary and language skills.
4. You can travel around the world without ever leaving home.
5. A good story can make you laugh, cry,
think about the world
around you, help
you to change and
form opinions, and
let you dream.
6. Developing good reading skills helps
students do better in all
subjects.
7. It is good way to start a conversation with your children about friendships, relationships, or any other subject.
8. Its better than the television. You can stop and start whenever you want and there are no commercials.
9. It stimulates the imagination and creativity.
10. There is a wonderful variety to choose from and our school library will lend them to you during the vacation.
