August 8th - August 17th Are you or someone you know going to be taking AP or Pre-AP Language Arts or Social Studies this upcoming Fall? At Freeman, we've got you covered. Join us for student and group-led discussions of the required summer reading to help get yourself in gear for the school year (and enjoy some snacks while you're at it)! We're also going to test your recall with some trivia contests - so read your books and you might win some prizes!
At this point in the summer, with just a couple of weeks before school officially starts, the Summer Reading Program about to end (have you logged your books or minutes? Log your books and minutes!), and weather that is so hot it saps your energy as soon as you walk out the front door, sometimes a little bit of boredom sets in. We’ve enjoyed sleeping in, staying up later, hanging out with friends, and maybe taking a family trip, but these last few weeks seem to draaaaaaaaggggg by. Why not check out a book that will have you laughing the rest of your summer away? What funny reads to you recommend?

There are nonfiction books that have stories that are just as captivating as fiction and, as they say, sometimes the truth can be stranger than fiction. Below I’ve listed some newer nonfiction titles that have either just hit the shelves or have come out in the last year. What do you recommend?
We’re more than half-way through the year (and more than have way through SRP – have you registered? No?
