Jen's Library Staff Pick:
 
In my home, the dark, cold winter nights are the best time for family reading. Our favorite book is Charlotte's Web by E.B. White. You can't go wrong with this beautiful family classic. The themes of love, loss, and friendship woven throughout the story are timeless. What really makes Charlotte's Web a great novel to read aloud to children is its age-appropriate language, vivid descriptions, and creative animal characters. And, don't forget to do the voices. Happy winter reading, everyone!

Insider Tips . . . From Jennifer  
Question: How Do I Keep Track Of What I've Read?
Answer: Your Online Library Account
One of the most convenient but under-utilized feature of your online library account is your ability to create your own lists. We are often asked at the library: "How do I keep track of what I've read?" or "What's the simplest way to remember books I want to soon read?" This is especially true if you read books in a series, or just love browsing our CAFÉ (Catalog Access For Everyone) catalog of the new Bridges Library System.
Here's how:
-Log in to your library account. Visit the library homepage at delafieldlibrary.org, and click on the large green Account Sign In button on the right. Then, enter your library card number and password. If you do not know your password, it is usually the last four digits of your telephone number, but please call us if you are unsure.
-Create and name a list. Once logged in, notice a box in the left margin called My Lists. In that box, click on Create New Saved List and name it. For example, consider creating one called "Already Read" or "Future Reads."
-Then, under the left margin box called My Account click on Items Out. Click on any titles you have checked out and want to remember, then click on Add to List to add it to your "Already Read" list.
-To add titles that may interest you sometime soon to your "Future Reads" list, peruse the online Library Catalog (also a large green button on the library homepage). When you find something tempting, click on Add to List to add it to your "Future Reads" list. It will even take you right back to the item in the catalog so you don't have to look it up again. Nice!
If you need any help whatsoever, please stop in the Delafield Public Library. We LOVE to help. See you soon.
