A while ago I was in charge of doing a teen book display. And I thought it would be fun to have little cut-out sunglasses to put on the book covers. I had the sign say “Eye See You Found a Good Book!” I thought the book covers looked especially fun. Basically this display just…
The Reading Adventures crew had a lot of fun last month. The program was based on the book Me and My Dragon. We started out by reading the book together. And we had over a dozen copies of the book, so all the kids got to read along with me. After we read the book…
Last month our Great Reads for Girls book was Pippi Longstocking. This was a book that I think a lot of the girls really enjoyed. We got to talk a lot about what types of things would you do if you could do anything or why did they like Pippi. All in all it was…
My coworker and I had the opportunity to go to a literacy night at a school a little bit ago. Of course we did the usual library display with loads of book lists and information. And look at the fun things the school did. This was the “photo booth” with The Cat in the Hat.…

So for October we had a lot of fun talking about the book Sprinkles and Secrets at our Mother/Daughter book club. And because it was October…the brownies that I got for treats were in the shape of bats. (Although you can’t really see them all that well due to me putting them in a trunk.…
So for our October edition of Reading Adventures one of my coworkers made a box that our library got to use based on the series of Fly Guy books. And I will be honest in that I didn’t get very many pictures of this program. (I took some when we started, but then we had…
