On a Related Note...



C.H.I.L.D., which sponsors the summer reading room at Verona Pool, is bringing author Jane Lovascio to the pool today, Wednesday, June 29. Lovascio is the creator of the Casey and Bella series, which feature two real dogs, Casey, the Jack Russell Terrier and Bella, a Yorkie. Each book in the Casey and Bella book series supports a special charity benefiting children or animals.
The visit, which is geared to kids in kindergarten through fourth grade, will run from 1 to 2:30 p.m. over by the book shed at the front of the pool. The first 25 children to arrive will get a free autographed book. Additional books will be on sale, and Lovascio will be signing her books.
  If you are free today, be sure to go and visit Casey and Bella.  

Also, if you are planning on going to the pool at all this summer, stop by the Reading Room to discuss some of the books you have been reading this summer.  The organizers are well-versed in the Buzz Books and the other books on the grade-level lists!
