Get ready to immerse yourself in the magic of books, as we celebrate the victorious teams of the Canyon's District's Book Blitz Junior Contest. Promising a world filled with enchanting characters and riveting plots, this episode brings you face-to-face with Gretchen Zeitzef, the passionate library specialist at CST, who eloquently breaks down why reading is the cornerstone of academic success. You'll be captivated by the exuberance of Katie Rowley, PTA parent volunteer, and awed by Mary Grant from Indian Hills, who claimed the individual championship by devouring an astounding 20 books! Let's explore together how Book Blitz not only ignites a love for reading but also introduces students to a broad spectrum of books, fostering a sense of community among the young bibliophiles.

The second part of our journey takes you to the victory lap of the Word Ninjas, the triumphant team from Sunrise and Canyon View. Stand in awe of the district's efforts in making books more accessible, with extra copies of the titles made available through the Salt Lake County Library System, including e-book and audiobook versions. This truly is a testament to the commitment to nurturing dreams, one page at a time. So, join us as we celebrate the joy of reading, inspiring our young listeners to dream big and read more, because the world is but a book, and those who do not read, read only a page.
