Linda Sue Park at BookCourt Tonight!

Some of you are already familiar with Linda Sue Park. Upper Elementary read Single Shard the year before last. And Fourth grade students will soon be reading Seesaw Girl!
For those of you not yet familiar, you have a pile of great books waiting for you.


Tonight at 7pm, Linda Sue Park is reading at BookCourt, right around the corner!
Keeping Score is her newest book. It takes place right here in Brooklyn, in the 1950s, when the Dodgers were on top of the world.


If you want to read some of Park's work, the library has Project Mulberry, A Single Shard, and When My Name Was Keoko. We don't have Keeping Score yet; but I hope that we will tomorrow! Maybe Linda Sue Park can sign a copy for our library!

See you tonight at BookCourt!

Hot Off the Presses!

The Willoughbys
by Lois Lowry

Lois Lowry's newest book has arrived! Meet the Willoughbys: Jane, who wishes for a longer name, Barnaby A and Barnaby B, the twins who have to share everything, including their one sweater, Tim, the oldest brother, very bossy, and Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby, the rottenest parents ever.


Do you love Lemony Snicket and the Baudelaire orphans? Do you like old-fashioned stories with a twisted-twist? The Willoughbys might be for you!

More Babymouse, Please!

From Lower Elementary to Upper Elementary, students are clamoring for Babymouse!
And guess who else has been reading Babymouse? Dane Peters, himself! Dane borrowed Camp Babymouse the other day, to see what the fuss was about. I think he's a new fan.


I'm pleased to announce that several more Babymouse books have joined the 741.5 shelf, including #8, Puppy Love. Come to the library, and check out our new Babymouse books!
