The blogger's internet service is out, so while she looks for a new provider, she'll be joining Brando here in wallowing in books! Whatever did we do before the internet?

Summer Fun Kick-Off
The very last day of school in Fairfax County is June 18. To celebrate, why not spend a special evening at the library with a special guest?
The Singing Weatherman is meteorologist Bob Swanson. He's kind of the "Bill Nye" of weather but with lots of music and does his show in such a fun way that the kids don't realize they're learning! This is for ages 6-12, it's at 7 p.m. and registration for this program begins TOMORROW JUNE 4. You can register by calling the library at 703-689-2700. Co-sponsored by George Mason Friends.
The Summer Reading Program begins June 18 as well. Be sure to take your child to the library to sign up. This is a great incentive-based program to keep kids 'in the books' for the summer. You can get more information here.
And finally, the summer reading lists for FCPS schools:
Note: Your child may have additional choices, and/or may have specific requirements. Check with the school.
All of these programs are brought to you by the excellent staff and the dedicated Friends of Reston Regional Library. Speaking for the Friends, it is our pleasure to underwrite activities that keep kids reading!

Audio Treats
What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play...
If you can continue the lyric, then you are familiar with the cabaret music of the Hollywood production. Now it is time to expand beyond that. This CD is a recording of favorite cabararet music that will do that with familiar tunes! It contains 20 of them and would make a nice gift. Our RestonFriends1 site has it for $25.
In Hoagland is a tribute album recorded near the end of Hoagy Carmichael's life. With Georgie Fame and Annie Ross, it pulses with the rhythms of jazz and aficionados say "grab this" CD. Ours is $24 at RestonFriends1.
If you are a current Reston Friend, you can get these directly from us without paying shipping. E-mail us for details!
