Dear Readers,

Do you ever need to make a list to remember something

you need to do?  Like writing a thank you note to your

Grandparents for that swell birthday gift they gave you,

or remembering to return library books by a certain date?

The way some people remind themselves to do something

is to tie a string around their finger, and every time you

look at the string on your finger, it gives you the "message"

"Don't forget-don't forget-don't forget" that you have

something to do.  Once you have remembered what to do,

remove the string and you have successfully NOT forgotten

what you needed to do!  Easy, peasy, no?

Okay, so now that we have gotten that all figured out,

what was it that I needed to tell you?  Let me think.

Oh, yes...I remember now, thanks to that white string on

my pinkie!  I WANT TO TELL YOU TO HURRY UP AND

FINISH READING THOSE LAST BOOKS for our

Summer Reading Club that is ending officially

on Monday, August 1, 2011. That way you can collect your

free book and all those great coupons for free food! 

You know you can do it, so get going RIGHT NOW! Don't

say you weren't reminded!

Untying the string,

Paige Turner!
