APRIL IS NATIONAL HUMOR MONTH

Anyone can tell you that children love to giggle and laugh.  Get them hooked on reading by introducing them to some pretty funny stories and hysterical antics.  We'll have your little ones giggling along with Big Chickens Fly the Coop.

Young readers will enjoy Buzz Boy and Fly Guy, one of our most popular Easy Reader chapter books.

School-aged children can laugh along with Mr. Klutz is Nuts.


Some other titles that will have your kids laughing out loud are:

Have fun,  Miss Rosemarie.

National Library Week

What is National Library Week? First sponsored in 1958 by the American Library Association, National Library week is celebrated by all types of libraries across the United Sates.  During this annual celebration our nation's libraries and librarians promote library use and support. It begins April 13 through April 19th with the theme "Lives change @ your library."
We hope the library has a positive impact on your life.


We're celebrating this week with a Book Character Scavenger Hunt.  Come in and hunt all over the children's room to find the characters and win a prize. The scavenger hunt is going on until this Saturday.
