“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.”
— E.B. White
Looking for something to read over spring break? How about a little E.B. White (“Charlotte’s Web,” “Stuart Little,” “The Trumpet of the Swan”)? Or you could head over to the Multnomah County Library for the Every Family Reads program, which runs now through the end of April. This year’s book is “The True Story of the Three Little Pigs,” which is one of the funniest picture books ever. (And I have seen some funny ones, I’m telling you.) While supplies last, visitors can pick up a free book.
The book’s author, Mr. Jon Scieszka, currently serves as the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature. On April 20th he will visit Portland. Check out the library’s website for details on time, location and ticket prices. Other events will also be held, so check with your local branch for details.
Happy reading!
