Under the Dome is among the books our library has on display for the program this year, I guess because it has a science-fictiony flavor. In between patrons I've been scooping up offerings by Douglas Adams, John Scalzi, and Nancy Kress to add to the pile.

My kids are not doing the reading program this year but they did go last week to a Hogwarts themed escape room in the library teen room. They had a huge turnout. Ty and Ali's group won a prize but they have to wait for a phone call to go pick it up.

Ali is reading up a storm so far she has read 6 books since school got out. Ty and Evan, none. I tried to get Ty to check some books out last week when they were there, they had lots of time to kill before it was their turn. He enjoys reading and reads well, it is just never going to be his go-to pastime, though.

I worked in a library for 2 years when I was in high school. My brother got me that job because he had worked there before me. It didn't pay very much, but it gave me work experience and prepared me for working in an office. It also helped me to become acquainted with the best authors of our time. I used to be in charge of the Summer Reading Club. Stephen King worked in a library too, which is where he met his future wife.
