Primary Summer Reading 2010 The following titles represent some of the best literature available for children at the Primary level. We send this as a summer gift for your family. Titles with an “M” can be found at Multnomah County Library; all others are at Arbor School as well. If you cannot find the books you want at your public library and local bookstore, you are welcome to browse the Arbor shelves. Simply sign books out by the check-out computer. Of course, some books are difficult to find, so please be mindful of others and return Arbor books promptly.
