Tell Us What You're Reading this Summer!

We hope you take time to read a few good books this summer, and while you're at it, we invite you to share your thoughts by posting a comment on the library blog.  HF's Summer Reading Program makes summer reading even more fun.  Our theme this year is Read On the Wild SideWant to participate?  Here's how!
  • Sign up in the HFHS Library and get your Reading Log.
  • For every three books you read over the summer (up to fifteen), you get to choose one free prize book.
  • When you turn in your Reading Log, you will be awarded a certificate of participation you can submit to your Reading or English teacher for extra credit in the fall. Reading Logs can be from HFHS or a public library.
  • All participants will be entered in a drawing for special prizes!
