Required summer readingALL STUDENTS GOING INTO 7th OR 8th GRADE MUST READ A MINIMUM OF FOUR BOOKS FROM THE READING LIST BELOW, and we strongly recommend that you read AT LEAST 6-8 BOOKS THIS SUMMER. Please do not forget to fill out the summer reading log - this log is needed in September. Students are not required to confine their additional reading solely to the reading list below, but we do think that the titles and authors on this list will interest and excite you. Availability of booksSince Ottoson Library is closed during the summer, we have put our copies of the books from the reading list on deposit at the Robbins and the Fox Libraries. This means that the town libraries have generous quantities to lend. Also, local bookstores were sent our reading list, so they are likely to have the books in stock. Throughout the summer use the Robbins and the Fox Libraries to borrow books, use on-line computers to view authors' web sites and get more background about the stories you are reading, sign out books- on-tape. Summer eventsCall the Robbins Library at 781 316 3235 to check on programs planned for July and August. Some require sign-ups and you'll want to get on the list! Visit local Museums using passes from the Robbins. Check the Arlington Advocate for special programs for students.
