Summer Reading Program

The Summer Reading Program has officially begun! Join us between June 21st and August 11th for books, events, prizes, and ice cream. These are a few of my favorite things!

The Program started off swiftly, with registrations in my email inbox as soon as I turned on my computer. You guys didn't disappoint as, throughout the day, you lined up in front of my desk to be among the first participants to sign up (the first ten got a free bag to tote all of your books)! Registrations are still coming in at a fast pace. If you haven't already, be sure to sign up for this great program. Don't miss out on all of the planned activities...and those that might just happen on a whim!

Be sure to check out the Summer Reading Link on our website if you have any questions.

I look forward to seeing you all in the library!

Great New Picture Books!

There are some great new picture books on our shelves. Some of my recent favorites include:

Captain Small Pig, written by Martin Waddell and illustrated by Susan Varley. This picture book, appropriate for pre-K and up, is a beautifully rendered story all about a magical day out. A perfect start to the summer season.

Mirror Mirror, written by Marilyn Singer and illustrated by Josee Masse, is a book of reversible verse. Classic fairy tales are rewritten and turned upside down in order to show that there are two sides to every story. A truly inventive work for kids in grades 3+.

Bunny Days, by Tao Nyeu, is a trio of hilarious stories, all involving cute cotton-tailed bunnies who get into some unexpected predicaments. Be sure to pay special attention to the wonderful retro illustrations. A real treat for pre-K and up.

Enjoy these and other new picture books on our shelves. Be sure to share your thoughts on my picks and recommend some of your own!
