“My alma mater was books, a good library.”
— Malcolm X
We’re still reading Halloween and autumn books this week, as well as mysteries and books about guinea pigs. We like guinea pigs. And kittens and puppies, too.
Some favorites:
Anything by Eva Ibbotson (who says that her kids taught her that children like to read about ghosts, wizards, and witches “because they are just like people but madder and more interesting”); “The Hallo-wiener,” Goblins in Green, and, for the big kids, anything by Christopher Paolini and Suzanne Collins. Whatever I don’t have in the library, the kids are finding at the Multnomah County Library, buying, or borrowing from friends.
I was also able to purchase a few extra copies of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. These books flew out of the door about five minutes after I had processed them and entered them into the computer.
It’s been a great week and we’re all looking forward to having some fun this weekend.
Best,
Ms. Nancy

Ms. Nancy, Library day is my favorite. I like it when my mom comes and I can check out a book to take home. I really like Berenstein Bears books. from, Jillian (kindergarten)

Dear Jillian, thank you! That is a big compliment to our library and me. See you tomorrow.
