8.The Calgary Public Library has some great resources to beat boredom and keep your children busy over the summer,whether at home or on the road.During the school year children are busy with homework and required reading,so summer is a great time for them to relax and read what they choose.Not only is reading a pleasurable way to pass the time,it will also help children keep their skills up over the summer,so they are prepared to go back to school in the fall.
If you are taking a trip this summer,why not let the kids help out with the planning?Borrow a children's atlas (地图集) to choose your way together and check out some books about your destination before departure.The All about Provinces and Territories series is full of interesting facts about each Canadian province.
Going camping?How about taking along some scary stories to tell around the campfire?Alvin Schwarz's collections of Scary Tales to Tell in the Dark are sure to make your spine tingle and your teeth chatter.For something a little less horrible,try Velcome:a Very Scary Book,by Kevin O'Malley,which includes such horrors as a plate of mixed vegetables!
Remember to lead by example and pack a book in your own beach bag.If children see you reading,they will understand that books are an important and valuable part of summer and they will begin to copy your habits!
The staff at the Calgary Public Library are always happy to help find that perfect summer read,so stop by your nearest branch,call us at 260-2600,or visit our website at calgarypubliclibrary.com today.
