1000 Books Week Fifty-Two

It's been a hot couple of days, especially with the air conditioning down at the Library! Hopefully it will be back up and running today.

Our last Star Reader of the Week was Dane!


This week's Star Reader is Trent! Congratulations!

Our last Book of the Week was "Home the Library Cat", by Reeve Lindbergh.

Our fifty-second Book of the Week is "Daisy Comes Home", by Jan Brett.


"Mei Mei has the six happiest hens in China. She gives them treats and fresh hay baths, and when she calls to them-gu gu gu gu gu!-they all run to her as fast as they can. But one of the hens, Daisy, is not always so happy. The other hens pick on Daisy and push her off the perch every night, knowing that she is too small to stand up to them. Then one day Daisy accidentally drifts out onto the river in a basket and must quickly learn how to survive. When Daisy finds her way home, this plucky little hen is no longer afraid.
Jan Brett and her husband, Joe, traveled with their daughter-in-law, Yun, and her husband, Sean, to China, the land where Yun was born. During this trip, Jan found the inspiration for Daisy's story."
- Puffin.

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

Don't forget, Thursday is our Scavenger Hunt kick-off party for the Summer Reading Club!
