Keep a reading diary for the month of August giving a brief summary of every book you read.  Who knows there may be prizes for anyone who can do this for the entire month!

There are 2 challenges this month.

Challenge 1 – simply keep reading over the holidays! Let Mrs McPhee know of anything you’d recommend for the library.

Challenge 2 – Try try the Harry Potter escape room challenge. You don’t have to have lots of HP knowledge to complete this and can do as a family or with friends.
