So, it’s Friday afternoon and I am watching the NBC news and there is a snippet of a report about how summer reading is ruining the summers of teens across the country. I will admit that some of what I saw was horrific (tons of required reading plus worksheets). However, someone needs to let the reporters know that is not what summer reading is. How about a story on a terrific summer reading program that a YALSA member is running that gets kids out of the house and into the library?
