Students can read one day or all seven days of the week. They can read from five minutes to as many minutes a day as they wish. Every minute counts.
But, whenever your child reads, have them write the number of minutes he/she read and initial it on the calendar you were provided. Then, simply return the calendar with the recorded minutes to your child’s new teacher by Friday, Aug. 15.
The Qualla Boundary Public Library is open on the following hours: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 8am – 7pm; Wednesday from 8am – 5pm; and Friday from 7:45 – 4:30pm.
