Traditionally, we think of summer reading programs at public libraries. But what about a summer program at your school library?

In today’s episode, Katherine Counterman, an elementary librarian in Katy ISD, interviews Sean Heller, librarian at Stockdick Junior High School in Katy ISD. For the last five years, Sean kept his school library open one day a week in the summer. He saw great turnout from students and families and any student, from any school, was welcome. He talks about story times for younger siblings, parents using WiFi and keeping books available in a book desert while school is out.
