]]> Summertime Treasures Debut tag:www.sad71.net,2007:/KHSLIBIS//14.385 2007-05-25T16:48:17Z 2007-05-25T16:53:46Z Ms. Russo Kennebunk Free Library & MSAD #71 Librarians Debut Summertime Treasures

 

The newest edition of the Summertime Treasures will debut at the Kennebunk Free Library on Tuesday, June 5, 2007 at 6:30 PM in Hank’s Room. Librarians from the Kennebunk Free Library, Louis B. Graves Memorial Library in Kennebunkport, and MSAD #71 will talk about this latest 15th edition of the booklet, soon to be distributed district-wide to all students.

 

Area librarians read and review hundreds of books in an effort to select titles that will provide a high quality reading experience. They suggest grade level groupings for titles; however, these are only guidelines. Many of the books can be read and enjoyed by a wider audience of readers. In yet another aspect of collaboration between the libraries, school libraries will lend their copies, which would otherwise be inaccessible over the summer, to the KFL for patrons to check out. Many of the titles in the booklet will be on display for browsing and checking out.

 

We hope that you and your family visit with the librarians that evening and will enjoy exploring many of the suggestions. This list is also available online at http://staff.msad71.net/khslibrary/home.htm
