The Contra Costa Library Summer Reading Festival is back this year with a slew of events for people of all ages. The headliner this year is travel author Rick Steves. Though in, in my opinion, this seems like a huge drop off in headliners from last year (Dave Eggers), Steves is an incredibly accomplished author with a very large following. I have personally never read his work, if anyone has, and can explain how he differs from any "Let's Go" travel guide please leave a comment.
Other than Steves, the line-up of events look to be a lot of fun. My favorite part of these summer programs is having my kids complete the reading list and other reading/literacy activities. When they finish, their names go up on the library wall and each gets a free new book!
