Dear Bookworms, Greetings in the new school year! We have been silent for a while now, because we have been busy - which is always a good thing for reading initiatives. We had a good summer at the Bookworm Library, with both our morning and evening sessions filled to capacity. While we did recognise that most parents find Bookworm a safe, creative space to spend summer time we continue to believe that being surrounded by books will make readers of some children. We welcome a lot of our regular members back. The thanks goes to parents who support reading and make the time and effort as well as spend money on books. You know that this is one of the best ways to grow. We support you! July will see the 3rd year of THE BOOKWORM MAGAZINE out in circulation. We are amazed at how quickly we have grown to enjoy putting the Magazine together. We hope to reach out to more schools and urge all of you to get a subscription today. The Magazine is underwritten by Bookworm to keep the price low and continues to be available at Rs.75 for an annual subscription. Our Book Treasury Program has taken root in a number of schools that we support and we are most proud of this initiative that happens because of your support towards our Annual Jumble Sale. We hope to post quarterly reports on this program to keep you in the loop. Wednesday Art Classes have a steady group of budding expressionists and the class always produces art work that astounds while children learn about Indian art forms and some of the Great European Masters. We have the addition of some wonderful books of Art. Please ask if interested. New books for all ages are in the Library now. If you are looking for something in particular please ask because a lot of the books are now shelved separately for lack of space - that is how much we have grown! Events during this year will include a Creative Writing Workshop with Sandhya Rao (scheduled tentatively for October), an exciting Book Quiz, Teachers Workshop, All Things Christmas, Jumble Sale and some more.. watch for details. Until next time, happy reading ! Elaine & Sujata ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* Visit our blog: http://goabookworm.wordpress.com 9823222665 or -832-2420146.
