Enter the delightful world of Tails and Tales this summer through your local library’s summer reading program!

Each summer, we look forward to the amazing programs our local library puts together to get children excited about reading while preventing the summer slide. And this year’s theme of “Animals and Stories” is a perfect for all of our animal-lovers to get them engaged in reading animal books!

To add movement to your literacy experiences, we’ve put together some related blog posts and yoga resources that will be sure to add a little entertainment to your reading adventures.
