Austin Public Library & Book People
AISD is partnering with the Austin Public Library & Book People to host a fun summer reading event! Don’t let your brain turn to mush over the summer, read lots of books and win prizes! Please ask your ELA teacher for a reading log/bookmark & you can get a $5 gift card from BookPeople, a fast food coupon from Mrs. Choice, & 10 points of extra credit from your ELA teacher next year!
This program kicks off with a fun event on: Saturday, May 18th from 9:30 to 2:30 at the Austin ISD Performing Arts Center, or just start reading on your own.
Please ask your language arts teacher for a reading log or start your own on a sheet of paper and visit: http://www.5bookdive.org/
