   Welcome to the summer of 2013!  Kids have great opportunities during the summer months to learn and read at their own pace, following their own interests.  Please join us on Saturday July 20, at the New York State Museum to celebrate Shenendehowa Family Fun Day!  Your invitation is here.

  We have provided information here about exciting summer reading programs, awesome book reviews, cool websites, and fun links!  We’re hoping these resources will help you to keep you reading all summer long.       Don’t forget to stop by and see what’s happening at your local public libraries.  Their Summer Reading program this year is called Dig Into Reading and they're offering some great events that you simply won't want to miss.  Click for direct access to the Clifton Park Halfmoon Public Library's summer reading information.
