‘Isn’t that a little old for you?’

My mother was appalled when Dad authorized me to take out any book I wanted on his card. He and I would discuss the stories & characters over dinner.
The library had summer reading programs where you could check out ten books/week, but you had to give an oral book report to the librarian to prove you’d read them. It got to the point where I would come in, give one book report and start in on the other nine & the librarian would sort of gulp and say “That’s ok. I know you read them.” to get out of listening to me for an hour.
Good times.
LOL!
Summer reading was the best! I hate it when I hear people say that kids don’t need Summer vacation anymore - that free time to grow and imagine in so many unfettered ways is very valuable!
