This Week at AAPLD: 5/1-5/7

Happy May, everyone!

Here’s hoping the new month brings us warmer weather and some sunshine. If you’re thinking ahead to summer–so are we! The Summer Reading Program kicks off on June 1st. This year’s theme is Read Beyond the Beaten Path. Keep your eye on your mailbox this month for more information, arriving with the June/July newsletter.

If your child attends school in D300, chances are good they will soon be seeing some Youth Services staff members! Ms. Kimberly, Ms. Tara, and Ms. Stephanie have already visited Westfield to chat with the elementary students there, and Ms. Kimberly and Ms. Alicia had the pleasure of visiting Eastview on 4/28 for their Scholastic Book Fair. We have lots more visits coming up in May to tell the kids all about the Summer Reading Program, and we can’t wait to see everyone!

Registration is now open for May programs!
