Albuquerque Library Summer Reading Program

Library Summer Reading Program

Cherry Hills Library Albuquerque NM

This weekend the Albuquerque Public Libraries kicked off their summer reading program with events at several local libraries.

Cherry Hills Library Summer Reading Program

This year Cherry Hills had a great event with a magician, juggler, and even some Stormtroopers!

This great program is open to all ages and runs from May 30th - July 25th. You can earn prizes for reading or for having someone read to you. You can even listen to audio books while driving around Albuquerque; the library has a great selection.

This year’s theme is "Catch the Reading Bug!" and carries over to the summer film festival at the library. For the younger ones, the “Summer Reading Bug Film Festival” includes classics such as "Charlotte’s Web" and newer movies like "Bee Movie". There’s also a series of “Classic 50’s Horror Films”.

For more free summer fun at the library, check out its schedule of activities.

Homeschooling in NM

Two girls drawing I have been homeschooling in NM for the last 9 years and overall, NM is very homeschool friendly. I take a very unschooling approach, so I may be missing some of the more traditional viewpoints. If you are homeschooling in NM and want to add anything, please feel free to leave a comment.

Here is my “(NOT) Back to School” Resources for the homeschoolers in NM.

First off, you must register with the state within 30 days of starting your homeschool and renew by April 1st. It is a simple online form which you can find at the State’s Department of Education website.
There have been some issues with families needing to register offline and not having that option anymore. You can read HSLDA response on this one. That is about it as far as the law goes. View summary of NM home school laws.

There are many homeschool groups in NM, including religious groups.

For books, visit Title Wave Books on Eubank, just south of Constitution. They have a great selection of school books and resources for the homeschooler.
