Keep track of the books you read over the summer and bring your reading chart
back to your school library by September 5th. This year we have a tic-tac-toe chart
to complete when you read books from different categories as well as a suggested
reading list and a place to list the books you read. If you participate in the
Portland Public Library summer reading program you may use the same books for
your school reading log. Each school will present a certificate to students who
participate and return their reading chart in September.
