OPA Libraries Summer Reading
Summer 2014
Summer Reading
We encourage students to continue reading over the summer. Research shows that reading can help prevent loss of skills over the summer.
This summer we will be opening up the Elementary school library, so students can check books out over the summer. The library will be open for checking out every other week Tuesdays and Thursdays 10 am to 11:30 am on the following dates:
June 10th and 12th
July 8th and 10th
July 22nd
August 5th and 7th
