The first time I saw a mini library on a street in my local town, I was captivated. I marvel at how families are flocking to these charming book boxes for surprise finds, and the incredible sense of community they foster. 
You can read about the benefits of local little libraries in this issue. Perhaps you’ll be inspired to build one on your property or seek them out in your neighbourhood. 
If you’re looking for things to do this summer just check out our article, Family Fun in the Sun, for 18 great ways to while away a summer day. Hint: one of those ideas is strawberry picking! And we have three fantastic recipes featuring this delicious fruit for you to try. 
We also have food for thought: insightful articles on raising bilingual kids and parents’ cell phone use that may alter your approach to these matters.
So find some time for yourself this summer for a good read on the porch or hammock.
