Summer reading programs start this week in Chico and Alvord. If you missed Bookends in last week’s All Around Wise, check it out here:  Area summer reading programs.

It will give you the details for all the summer reading programs in the county, as well as contact information for each library.

Keep those kiddos reading this summer!

Quote of the week

My book club is reading “The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are,” by Brene Brown.

Admittedly, I have only read the introduction so far, mainly due to ridiculous time constraints, not for a lack of interest. But I think this book will be thought-provoking and will generate a good discussion. It definitely warrants serious highlighting.

Here’s a gem from the intro:

“The universe is not short on wake-up calls. We’re just quick to hit the snooze button.”
