Just a reminder: The Salt Lake County Library System is a great resource for the entire family. They have awesome resources and programs continually running to help those of all ages. For example:
- Hero Adventure Club (geared toward boys 8-12 who are reluctant readers, but anyone is welcome)
- Great Reads Book Club (great for ages 8-12)
- student library cards (students may check out 3 items at a time, no late fees)
