I overheard Nadine say that it's Week 6 of summer reading. Up until last week, I saw a lot of excellent things happening in the library. Lately, I haven't seen as much. Things have been a bit...well...hazy. I'll explain about the haze later, but first let me tell you what I have seen...
Summer Reading has been in full swing. There's been raffle prizes and colorful stickie-dots, slap bracelets and beach balls, and lots and lots of smiling kids (some with fake mustaches) reading lots and lots of books!! As a matter of fact, it's been 4,032 books so far. Outstanding! There's also been tons of great programs like Malibu Tile Craft, Lego Club, Story Time, Baby Boogie, and Fishy Backpack (my favorite) with more programs every week. It is really something to see here in the Children's Room....
Ehem...which brings me to my recent issue "seeing"... Well, many of you have noticed that my tank looks a bit hazy. My water has taken on a peculiar green hue making it difficult for me to see out. It's also giving me bit of a headache. :-( Amy and Catherine have worked very hard to clean my tank, replace the filter, and change the water, but still I remain in a hazy state. Hmmm.... I can't figure it out. If anyone is a fishy-expert and might have advice on how to enhance my view, please stop on by and let one of the librarians know. They are taking suggestions!
Happy Splashy Reading!

It seems as if Hollywood has discovered what our little readers (and their librarians) have known for quite sometime. Children's books are full of great, original and exciting adventures. Many fabulous stories are coming to film this year. What better way to make summer reading worthwhile than tying it into an upcoming feature film?
2009 will bring some blockbuster hits to the big screen that are all based upon childhood book favorites. Of course there is the long awaited return of our favorite boy wizard, Harry, in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince opening on July 15. Feeling hungry? How about a 3D trip to the town of Chewandswallow? Judi Barrett's delicious tale, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs opens September 18. And who can forget that devilish little imp we all love, Max, in Maurice Sendak's Where The Wild Things Are?
Stop by the Children's Room and grab some exciting soon-to-be movie titles .
Let the wild reading rumpus start!

Our exciting summer reading club, Be Creative @ Your Library, kicks off on Monday, June 22 with continuous registration through Friday, August 7. We are thrilled to begin another fun summer chock full of programs, events, and great books. Come on in and see what's in store. Check out this great video about the summer reading program:
In between reading and recording all those fantastic books, children entering grades 2 through 5 will have a chance to participate in our first ever Picture Your Summer photo contest. For more information, come in and ask a librarian for a flyer. All participating contest photos will be displayed in the Children's Room.
Summer registrations are beginning. Please watch for registration dates and remember that registration is in person. We look forward to seeing you.
