SUMMER READING CLUB NEWS!

Calling all children!  This year's Summer Reading Club theme is "BUILD A BETTER WORLD".  Our young readers will explore the many ways we can build a better world through reading, writing, learning and creating!  Although the library will be undergoing a major renovation, we will still offer this popular reading program designed to encourage children to keep up the reading habit during the summer months.  

Registration will open to children entering preschool through Grade 6 beginning Sunday, June 4.  (Children entering 6th grade have the option to join either the J reading club or the YA reading club).  Families with babies up to age 3 are also encouraged to join the Read-To-Me portion of the program. 

Help us kick things off on Sunday, June 4 @ 2:30pm as we welcome back Darlene Graham and her band for a live performance of original music with interactive songs, movement, bubbles...and FUN for the whole family!  No tickets needed, just come on down and join the celebration!

Please choose only one.   

Registration begins Wednesday, April 5 @ 10am

BOOK REVIEWS!

The Inquisitor's Tale by Adam Gidwitz

A hodgepodge of different narrators in 1242 France introduce readers to three unusual children and one remarkable dog. As their individual stories unfold and their paths collide, tension reaches a fever pitch as an agent of the Inquisition nips at their heels. Gidwitz's epic medieval adventure packs in boisterous action, richly depicted history, and lovable underdog characters, all illuminated by Hatem Aly's stunning artwork. The Middle Ages have never been as exciting or as funny!
* A Newbery Honor book *
For Grades 4-9

Paul and Antoinette 

 Acceptance and respecting individual differences are among the many themes in this sweet story. Two unforgettable sibling pigs, an extrovert and an introvert, spend a typical day together. Paul and Antoinette are two thoroughly independent pigs that go against gender specific stereotypes, while expressing their charming personalities.  They may have differences, but their love and affection for one another is obvious.   While the text explores important issues, the illustrations keep it cheerful and heartwarming!  A perfect read aloud for children ages 3-7.
