I've been busy ordering lots of children's books for the newly remodeled Wilmot branch once it opens. They will have a great new collection of Picture books, Readers and Fiction.
Right now I have 50 carts of 100 titles each of J Fiction to look through and 20 carts of Teen Fiction to look at . It's fun to be shopping for all of these new books.
Beverly Cleary- She is 94 years old! She wishes the new movie, 'Beezus and Ramona' could have been called, 'Ramona Quimby' or Ramona Q' because it's about a little girl, but the movie producers want it to appeal to the teen audience as well so some changes were made in the story.
Beezus is older in the movie than she is in the film and is even kissing a guy.
We'll see how the box office returns go.
Susan Lowell - I was able to see her at the Main library this week reading 'Three Little Javelinas.'
It was cool to hear her read her own story. I had forgotten how great the art work is so it was neat to see the book pages projected on a big screen in the Children's meeting room.
An elementary school class was there too and enjoyed the presentation I think. They were very well behaved, but did join in on the huffing and puffing part of the story.
See you soon,
Ann
