Hi Teens! Just a reminder about your reading logs! If you're logging through Beanstack, you have until midnight on July 20th to get in your minutes. Paper reading logs are due to the library on the 20th.
PLEASE CHECK YOUR LOGS. Remember, we have guidelines! Your books must be from Sims, OR it must be a book that Sims currently carries. And, no book repeating! Once you are done with a title and have logged your minutes, you cannot count the book again.
Thank you for making summer reading a fun adventure!
