1000 Books Week Fifty-One

Time just seems to be flying on by! Summer is officially upon us, with Canada Day just around the corner! Don't forget, registration is now open for our Summer Reading Program!

Our last Star Reader of the Week was Spencer! 


This week's Star Reader is Dane! Congratulations! 

Our last Book of the Week was "The Blue Hippopotamus", by Phoebe Gilman, her long-awaited final book.

Our fifty-first Book of the Week is "Homer the Library Cat", by Reeve Lindbergh.


"Homer is a very quiet cat. He lives in a very quiet house with a very quiet lady. But one day, while the lady is away, Homer hears a very loud sound, and out the window he goes! Poor Homer just wants to find a spot where he can curl up and be quiet, but his hometown is a surprisingly loud place. Will Homer find a bit of calm in all the noise? And will he ever find his quiet lady? Reeve Lindbergh's cheerful, rhyming text pairs with Anne Wilsdorf's charming illustrations for a story-lover's ode to everyone's favourite quiet place." - Candlewick

Stay tuned for our next Star Reader and Book of the Week!
