School's starting soon: is this a joke?





Can it be that summer is over? Summer reading was great and thanks to the more than 256 teens who participated this year. Now I suppose we should regroup and get our pencils sharpened and switch to school mode. Look for a design change to our blog soon as we gear up for homework questions and things to get you off and running.

Meanwhile, check out some of the New YA Books at the Amherst Public Library. There's still time to lounge around with a good book.
