Interesting article

For those of you that may have missed it, there was an interesting article in the NYTimes this week about President Obama's relationship with books and reading.  Check it out!

Welcome!

Welcome to the sPECKtacular books, a blog for the adult members of The Peck School community. There are two questions I am most frequently asked by Peck parents:
1. What good books have you read lately?
2. What books can you suggest for my child?
This blog will help answer both of those questions! Each month I will highlight one great adult book I have read recently and offer my thoughts. I will also provide a review of online reading resources for parents to help you choose books for your children, and encourage them to read more often.

Feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions in the "comments" section, and check back each month to see what new information I have to share!

Happy Reading!

Mrs. Mary Kate MacVicar
School Librarian
