The Library Bags are Home

]]> BalletGirl came home today very excited about that bag she was carrying, it had all types of treasures inside. What was in the bag? Books. If you or if she is anything like me, you will learn that a book can transport you to a new world, time, place in a matter of pages. If it is a good book it can grab you the moment you begin to wait. Now that she is older I see her picking more books that are actually familiar to me. Do you recognize any of the books below?

Summer Reading Books:
Scary Stories: More Tales to Chill Your Bones by Alvin Schwartz
Fairies: Cook Book By Barbara Beery
The Kids’ Book of Chocolate By Richard Ammon
Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney
Always Wear Clean Underwear! by Marc Gellman
Franny K. Stein: Mad Scientist by Jim Benton
The Shivers in the Fridge by Manushkin
How the Second Grade Got $8,205.50 to Visit the Statue of Liberty by Nathan Zimelman
Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
Falling Up by Shel Silverstein

How many of you remember poems by Shel Shiverstein? I also remember Franny K Stein and the Wimpy Diaries as her brother checked them out just a year or two ago. Course I didn’t like her comment, “Mom you know these books right?” In reference to Shel’s, “Yeah why?” She kind of shrugged and replied, “They just looked old, like classics.” OUCH.

What’s Going on at Your Local Library for Summer Reading Programs

]]> OneBookTwoBook.com

Even though we live in a small community, our library has always been involved in summer reading programs with related activities which encourage youngsters and their parents to become involved.  My grandchildren, even as pre-schoolers enjoyed these programs and checking out books.

These programs also introduce many youngsters to the library and books in an enjoyable way.  I often took some of my grandchildren’s friends with us.  Then their mom began taking her children and other youngsters.

The summer programs involve reading and related activities that make the library a popular gathering place.  Often there are guest entertainers and authors.
