This will be the first year in almost 18 years that I will have access to a public library!  We lived in a lovely small town before we moved four weeks ago, but it did not have a public library.  I can’t wait!  And it is a testament to how busy I’ve been that have not been over there to get my library card yet.

Regardless of library access, however, I am still bringing home stacks of books for summer reading.  I need to reread all 20 of the 2010 Caudills in order to write questions for our Reading Counts program.  Scholastic in their infinite wisdom decided their customers should get subscriptions per student and have access to all of their library of tests.  However, I don’t want all of their tests.  I just want the 20 award titles… and selected others.  So, while I own the software and the right to use it, I am no longer their customer I guess.  This means I am writing 30 questions per book and I know from experience how difficult this will be.  But at least I get to reread the books.

The rest of the stack I have to make tomorrow, assuming I get done with all of my work on the last day of school.  Since this has never happened, it will probably be Wednesday.  So… see you Wednesday with my list!

Hooray for stacks of books home for the summer!  You’ll find me on my new patio!
