Summer Reading shows kick into high gear this week all over southwest Missouri. Looking forward to a fun week!

BOOK IT! Summer of Stories is back for another fun-filled, nostalgic summer of reading adventures and pizza prizes!

Our summer program officially begins TODAY, June 1 and runs through August 31 for children in PreK–6th grade nationwide.

✨ The first official reward claim period opens July 1!

Parents, here are a few important reminders:

📅 Reading days must be marked on the calendar inside the BOOK IT! App. If you miss a day, you’re able to go back up to 7 days.
📖 Children must read at least 15 days within the month, and parents must track those reading days in the app calendar to qualify for their pizza reward.

If you experience any issues, please contact us before the end of the month using the Contact Support page located in the app menu or on our website so we can assist you in time.

Stay tuned all summer long for updates, reading inspiration, activities, and important program information as we continue spreading the joy of reading!

So excited!!!! This is going to be the event of the summer. Lots of water games, a huge water gun course, ice cream sodas, a foam party, train rides, carousel and more. Starts at 1 p.m. ends at 3 p.m. Come and have a blast.

When the library goes from picture 1 to picture 2 in less than 45 minutes and the first student to walk in asks, "Mrs. Howerton, did you get fired?" 🤣 I assured the student that the library looks very different when I have to prepare for summer break or when I change my theme and that I have no plans to leave anytime soon, nor did I get fired. 😉 The student proceeded to tell me that he did not like the look of the library in picture 2. What do you think? Is less more or is he right?

Happy Last Day of School, Conway Bears! 🐻❤️🌞 We hope you have an amazing summer break!

Students have ONE more day to return their library books or pay the fine(s) to replace them! We currently have 12 students who have library fines and only 15 books to try to get back. The combined value of the books is $227.99. It would be amazing to get everything back so all students start with a clean slate next year for check out! Let's make this happen!
