The 2018 Summer Reading Edition
@YourPSMSLibrary Vol 1 Issue 6
The Countdown to Summer is on! It's time to plan for Summer Reading!
Please share the resources curated here with your students and parents, and encourage them to follow @LibraryPSMS on Twitter. All summer long I will be Tweeting out books that I read with the hashtag #psmsreads and #parkwayreads. I encourage all of you and your students to do the same and tag @LibraryPSMS as you do. Let's CREATE a HUGE READING PRESENCE on social media this summer and GROW AS READERS!
Yours in Summer Reading,
Jodie
