YA Summer Reading: Nip It in the Bud!

Hey there all you tweens and teens! I know summer has just begun and the last word you want to hear out of anyone's mouth is "homework"...but you know you do have some summer reading to do, right?

Why not start now? It's a perfect time to get this done. It's raining cats and dogs and there's only so much Wii one can play on any given day. Plus waiting until the last second will guarantee all copies of the book are checked out. (BOO!) Then you'll have to spend that hard-earned summer-job money buying a copy of the book at B&N. (Double BOO!)

And it's so ridiculous easy to get that summer reading book. Seriously, I'm talking 4-steps easy. Just grab your library card and dial 846-1573. (That's the library's phone number so no prank calls you cheeky lads and lasses!)

1.) Tell the librarian you would like to order a book.
2.) Give the librarian the title and author.
3A.) If it's available in the library, ask that it be pulled and left at the Circulation Desk for pick-up.
3B.) If it's not available in the library, ask that a copy of the book is shipped to MPL.
4.) Thank your super-awesome and very humble librarian.

So until Mother Nature figures out RI is not WA, use these soggy days as inspiration to stay indoors and get that summer reading done!
