Yes, it is already time to start thinking about next year’s summer reading program.  The theme for 2011 is “One World, Many Stories”, which lends itself well to exploring lots of books from other cultures.  ”Anansi the Spider”, “The King of Ireland’s Son”, “Anne of Green Gables”, “Pippi Longstocking”, “Aladdin”, Rudyard Kipling’s “Just So Stories” and “Hansel and Gretel” are just some of the books that I am considering incorporating into this new show.  This is a wonderful opportunity to introduce other cultures to the children, stimulating their imaginations with tales from distant lands and exotic places.  Slots fill quickly, so book now to ensure you get your preferred date.
