If you’re looking for books for your kids to read this summer, the Chattachoochee Valley Libraries has put together the following reading lists for kids. Sign up your kids (birth – 11 years) for the the annual Summer Reading Program. Encourage them read 10 books appropriate for their age, then record their progress on the library’s website.
