SUMMER READING AND NEW CALENDAR

Hi friends of the blog!
I would like to let you know about our Teen Summer Reading Program.
You probably know about it - since we do it every year.
If you haven't picked up your reading log at the library, you can also download them on the internet. It's so easy and the prizes are awesome!

The other thing I'd like to talk about is the new calendar that is now up on the blog.
I had few people asking me about programs, so I created a calender and put all the teen programs on there. I hope you like this new feature.



Any feedback on anything?
Love to hear from you.

Dominique
Ready, Set, Go!
Happy reading!

QUESTION #3

Книга * livre * Buch * libro * bok * buku * kitabu * bukku * kirja * könyv * book * bog*

This week's post is all about different countries, languages and books. Above you see the word "book" in 12 different languages. What inspired me to choose this topic? I recently became an U.S.citizen. I was born in Prague, Czech Republic and moved to Germany when I was 7 years old - lived there for 16 years until I moved to Boise, ID. I lived here for the past 7 years now. I love traveling, visiting different countries, and learning new languages. What about you?

QUESTION #3

Have you ever been to a different country? Or do you speak a different language? If you haven't been to a different country or don't speak a different language - what country would you like to visit if you could? And why? Share you experience, dreams, plans - anything that involves countries, languages, books...

Think about how different books are in other countries - such as Japanese books. Most books are printed to be read top-to-bottom and right-to-left. Or the Arabic script is written from right to left, in a cursive style, and includes 28 basic letters. To me it would feel strange to read a book from the back - does anyone know why drivers in drive on the left side of the road, while the majority of drivers around the world drive on the right?

IMPORTANT! Remember the week after (Question #4) will be a special question or activity with the chance to win a prize! I will be posting special posts once a month. So, remember to log in, blog and keep up the good work!

Well, I hope some of these things will inspire you to share your thoughts on books, language, and different countries. Blog on!
