Back to school

With the temperatures inching ever closer to the triple-digits, I'm sure nobody's that interested in heading back into the classroom right now.

But schools and libraries are a great place to start if you're looking to volunteer your time to help readers young and old obtain literacy, or just foster a lifelong love of books. So here's the contact information for volunteer opportunities in your neighborhood:

Anne Arundel School System: While there isn't a countywide site to visit, Teresa Tudor, the administrator for the Office of School and Family Partnership, would be happy to field your call and direct you to a specific school's program. Contact her at 410-222-5414.
Baltimore City School System
Baltimore County School System
Carroll County School System
Harford County School System
Howard County School System

And to help out at your local library, check out these sites:

Anne Arundel Public Library
Enoch Pratt Free Public Library
Baltimore County Public Library
Carroll County Public Library
Harford County Public Library
Howard County Public Library

About the blogger
Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is the Maryland Editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.
