In August of 1916 the National Park Service (NPS) was created to care for America’s treasures. Today, the NPS cares for over 400 National Park Service Sites that preserve America’s treasures. Join a park ranger for a celebration of the Centennial and a look at the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

Mortimer Moose here again! Did you miss me? I have some very bad news today – I did not win any summer reading prizes. Bummer. Good news – I read a lot of great books and got a FREE book to keep! Yay for free books! Did you get a free book? Can I read yours? Please? I think I will win lots of prizes next year, since moose are usually very lucky.
I am excited about the fall Footnotes that will come out in the fall, I believe. There are lots of new programs to get me by until the next summer reading. I wonder when fall reading starts. And winter reading and spring reading? WHAT?! There is only SUMMER reading?! I’m going to go into prize withdraw! Medic! Medic!
Oh, wait! I almost forgot about the Little Tornadoes Reading Club! That’s just as good as a fall reading program. Not only do we get to read sports books, everyone who finishes the drills will get football game tickets, a club t-shirt, and a membership card! There’s also some great events for club members like a Gridiron story time with the Dover Tornadoes! So awesome! I’ll let the other events be a surprise. *Moose Wink*
Come visit the Children’s Department and tell Miss Jen you want to sign up for the Little Tornadoes Reading Club! Then we’ll be in a club together! How fun will that be?
Your Pal,
Mortimer Moose
