Many kids and adults are looking forward to long lazy summer days with nothing much to do - except read.
For kids, nobody is pestering them about school work and assignments. Finally they have time to spend as many hours as they want in the Library, combing the shelves for stuff that looks interesting to them.
They can check out books, magazines and other things like DVDs and ebook readers. Then, unless family obligations interfere, they can hole up someplace comfortable and explore the whole world.
Many adults look forward to summer reading with great anticipation. Choosing just the right summer read is a major preoccupation in the weeks before vacation. We ask friends, librarians, colleagues for their recommendations, then place a bunch of books on hold at the Library, stake out a favorite place in the shade or a comfortable chair, open a bag a gummy worms, and get lost .... in the story... Ahhhh!
This summer, I plan to read: A Secret Daughter, A Game of Thrones: A Song of Fire and Ice; and The Art of Racing in the Rain.
