Last week, Charlesbridge heard the good--no, make that great... stupendous, joyous, and all--news that Hello, Bumblebee Bat, by Darrin Lunde and illustrated by Patricia Wynne, won a Theodor Seuss Geisel Award Honor. We were overjoyed and beside ourselves with glee. So, we had cake and champagne to celebrate. The cake lady misspelled 'bumblebee', but that's okay. She just won't win a Geisel Honor.
And here we are at ALA-Midwinter with our popular poster of Lola at the Library. The lucky winner of the poster raffle is Monica Rhue of James B. Duke Library in Charlotte, North Carolina. Congrats!

Lola loves Tuesdays! Why? Because it’s the day she gets to go to the library! Lola is a charming little girl, in all of her zest for her trips to the library! Her excitement is contagious and she loves everything about this special day!
“There is a special section in the library just for children.
It is really cool.
Nobody ever says, “Shhh!”
This great book shows a wonderful appreciation for the library, and has great, colorful pictures, which tell her story as well. The acrylic paintings shine on the page, and bring Lola to life.
Lola loves Tuesdays because she loves the library! I love this book, because it makes me want to take a trip to my library!
Anna McQuinn is the author of more than 20 children’s books, and she is a part-time librarian. McQuinn is also in charge of running family book groups.
Read this great picture book for the love of the library, the love of Lola, and the love of some really neat illustrations!
