1000 Books Week Thirty-Nine

It's Freedom to Read Week! Celebrate YOUR Freedom to Read by checking out some of the banned books at the Library!

Congratulations to Dane for bringing back his reading sheet and winning his first prize for reading!

Our last Star Reader was Jude!

Here's a shot of Brock, one of our previous Star Readers, happy to get his Reading Prize!


This week's Star Reader is Noah! Congratulations!

Our last Book of the Week was "The Bully Goat Grim", a charming fractured fairy tale.

Our thirty-ninth Book of the Week is "The Waiting Dog", by Carolyn Beck - a banned book!


"I dream of you every day in my spot by the slot. I sit and wait and salivate." With gruesomely delicious rhymes and wickedly joyful illustrations, this unique tale invites readers to share in a dog's ultimate fantasy as it eagerly anticipates the delivery of the daily mail -- and it isn't the letters this dog is interested in! While not for the faint of heart, this book is a grisly romp that will have kids squealing with delight and adults savoring its ghastly naughtiness as the dog joyfully devours the postman, one scrumptious body part at a time.” - Kids Can Press
