Race the Librarian

Miss Erin is starting a new program called "Race the Librarian" for children ages 6 and under. This reading race will kick off on October 15th until it hits the finish line two months later on December 15th. Children will be given the chance to see if they can read more picture books than Miss Erin!

Small prizes will be given when kids reach certain milestones, including having a brand new picture book donated to the library under the child's name -- complete with name credit inside the book, and being the first to check it out.

This program is meant to increase reading, build vocabulary, and give children the confidence to feel good about themselves when they win Race the Librarian! More program details and enrollment forms are racing to the library for pick-up next week!

Food-for-Fines

Food-for-Fines is back for the month of November. $2 in overdue fines will be taken off of your account for every non-perishable, non-expired food item brought into the library. Food-for-Fines only counts towards fines from overdue items or to get a new library card (current ID must be present). Fines charged due to lost items, copies, or to buy books cannot be paid off with this program.

Review #1

Nicole Overbeck      

Nicole enjoys reading: most everything!

Book: Behind the Beautiful Forevers  

Author:  Katherine Boo   

Nicole says, "This nonfiction read captured my attention by being eye-opening, fast-paced, and caring. The lives of the slum dwellers of modern India are recorded in a way that brings the reader into the motivations, the feelings of hope and despair, and the larger political and social pressures at work. This book makes huge issues personal. Highly recommended."

Review #2

Erin Kant       

Erin enjoys reading: picturebooks and YA titles. 

Book: The Graveyard Book   

Author: Neil Gaiman    

Erin says, "Bod (short for 'Nobody') Owens is an ordinary boy... except that he lives in a graveyard, raised by ghosts. Join Bod as he finds an ancient Indigo Man, is kidnapped to the dreaded city of ghouls, encounters the strange and spine-chilling Sleer, and the exciting climax as Bod finds those that murdered his family and has to decide what to do about it. It is rare that you find an author that writes exceptionally well and wondrous. Gaiman is such a superb storyteller that I am looking forward to reading more of his works."
