Little Rock Family Book Club: Summer Fun
Summer is in full swing! The sun is shining, school is out and it’s time to soak in all of the free time and then pack it full of fun.
It’s important for kids to keep reading all summer long, and with fun reads like this, we think it’ll be easy to keep their eyes glued to the pages. All of these summer-themed books are available from the Central Arkansas Library System.
