Summer 2020 Edition


Hooray! After this Thursday you have 10 glorious weeks ahead of you to relax and recharge. When you use some of that time to read you become a smarter and better version of you. 

Audiobooks count as reading. It is simply reading with your ears. You have free audiobooks available to you through the Barrington Public Library's eZone and Hoopla Digital platforms as well as our school's RICAT catalog. So plug in your ear buds or AirPods and take that walk or swing in that hammock while listening to a great read.
