Today's Random Thoughts

Things have been really busy at the library. We have had several classroom visits and are in the process of getting new laminated library cards to all of our patrons in the children's library. It's great to have so much support!

Celebrate Banned Books Week by reading something from the challenged list. We have displayed several books from our collection that has been on the list. I am thankful to live in a society where I can choose what I want to read and know that others can make their choices. As always, I encourage parents to know what your children are reading and discuss those choices. The library offers something for everyone.

Our first edition of the children's library newsletter is going in the mail this week. If you want to get on the mailing list, call the children's desk at 326-2327 and give us your name and address. The newsletter will contain the new additions for the past month as well as upcoming events and news. It's another way to keep everyone current on what's happening at the library.

It's not too late to sign up for fall story clubs. We also have activities for families, guys only and something for girls. How about a free movie? Check often to see what events are coming up.

I linked this blog to my del.icio.us bookmarks to give you an idea of what I do to keep abreast of the latest in children's books. I would love to know where you look, too.

My library shows some of our favorite books available in the children's library, both old and new. We are always ready to give a recommendation.

Happy Reading!
