If your children are registered in the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program, make sure to come down to the library on Saturday, August 18th at 1:00 for our 1000 Books Reading Party! Children get to participate in fun stories, great crafts, and have a delicious snack!
Last week's Book of the Week was "It's All About ME!" by Nancy Cote, a charming story about a young boy welcoming a new baby into the family.
Our eleventh book is "Library Lion", by Michelle Knudsen.
Miss Merriweather, the head librarian, is very particular about rules in the
library. No running allowed. And you must be quiet. But when a lion comes to the
library one day, no one is sure what to do. There aren't any rules about lions
in the library. And, as it turns out, this lion seems very well suited to
library visiting. His big feet are quiet on the library floor. He makes a comfy
backrest for the children at story hour. And he never roars in the library, at
least not anymore. But when something terrible happens, the lion quickly comes
to the rescue in the only way he knows how. Michelle Knudsen's disarming story,
illustrated by the matchless Kevin Hawkes in an expressive timeless style, will
win over even the most ardent of rule keepers.
Congratulations to Evan and Lina for reaching 150 books! Bring back your filled out reading sheets to win great prizes!
