We’re heading into the home stretch…

If you’re one of the 1,000+ Rancho Cucamonga children who signed up for our Summer Reading Program, keep up the good work – you’re almost there. With just three weeks left in our Summer Reading Program, you are on your way to being a star summer reader and earning a great end-of-the-Summer surprise.

DON’T TELL ME HOW IT ENDS
This is my plea to all of you industrious Muggles out there who’ve already finished the final (?) installment of the Harry Potter saga. I’m hoping to get to Harry and company as soon as I finish the other four books I have on my summer reading list including the next selection of the Rancho Readers Bookclub, The Westing Game.

At least I didn’t have to miss out on the Harry Potter party we had at our Archibald Library on Friday. As you can see from the pictures, a great time was had by all. Each participant was treated to sampling of Hogwarts classes, Divination, Herbology, Transfiguration and, the ever-popular, Potions. In true Hogwart’s style, following our classes, we returned to the “main hall” for a lovely feast including a birthday cake for “Haree”. At 12:01am Saturday morning, the race was on to get a copy of the book and start reading. Fear not, however, copies of the book are still available to purchase at both libraries, or you can add your name to the wait list.
