School looks really different this year, but the fact still remains: children who are not reading at grade level by 3rd grade have a more difficult time catching up. This can effect kids long after 3rd grade. We're here to help shed some light on what goes in to helping a child learn to read, so no matter where your children are learning this year, you are prepared to help them grow their reading skills.

With Palm Springs getting so many great reviews on Hulu, we thought we should call out some of our favorite movies that smash the time/space continuum. Here's a list of librarian Tekedra's favorite picks:
Groundhog Day
This is the original stuck in a time loop movie. I love this movie because the concept begins like a terrible practical joke and ends with the actual change in a person's personality. It's silly and kind of profound.
The Lake House
I'm not that into Romantic movies, but it's a Keanu/Sandra Bullock movie that feeds my secret need for a Keanulock ship.
