It's November. There's no school. The kids are bored. What's the solution? A summer reading program! Or at least that's my solution here in the library :) I remember as a kid always heading to the library with the fam to get lost in a book, fill out a map, and receive a bunch of sweet prizes along the way. Since the kids have peluche all day/every day, I thought I'd help the tios out by providing an activity in the afternoons. Cut Pirata Pedro. He asked all of the kids if they were ready for the adventure of a lifetime. If they were, then they could join him in the library to look for the treasure!
The program started on Friday. I was a bit hesitant of the turnout, as the 17-20 year old boys had their time slot first. But, believe it or not, a few showed AND got super into it! They were coloring their maps (above) and hurrying through 15 pages so that I could mark off square one. It made me beyond excited. If I can motivate the older guys, then I know I'm "golden" with the little pirates of NPH.
