The program features great book suggestions related to the Carlos Museum’s collections and exhibits. Children who have read five books from the summer 2022 book list and return their completed reading diary to the museum by September 1 will receive prizes.Keep in mind that the public library has a pass for the year-round museum that allows families to visit the Michael Carlos Museum, one of my favorite museums in Georgia More information about Wrapped Up in Reading can be found at https://carlos.emory.edu/wrapped -up-in-reading.
