Election Season

I am sure you can't help but have noticed that in 2 weeks we have elections coming up and while you won't be able to vote (sorry it bummed me out too when I was your age), you can still learn about the candidates and our electoral system. Check out this link from the Library of Congrees which is all about Elections: http://memory.loc.gov/learn/features/election/home.html

Booktalks @ ESMS

Hi, sorry this is a day late but yesterday I had the pleasure of booktalking for Ms. Hird's classes at ESMS. It was a lot of fun and you all did a great job asking and answering questions! Just a reminder that all of these books are on the AR list for ESMS, so they count towards your reading for that!! Here are the titles:
· The Gospel According to Larry By Janet Tashijan
· Code Orange By Caroline Cooney
· Coraline By Neil Gaiman
· Things Not Seen By Andrew Clements
· Witness By Karen Hesse
· Fever, 1793 By Laurie Halse Anderson
· City of Ember By Jeanne DuPrau
· Gossamer By Lois Lowry

Fall is finally in the air!

Did you have good weekend? I used Saturday and Sunday to do nice Fall-y kind of things, like going to an orchard and picking out a pumpkin. I also went through a corn maze which was fun. What's your favorite thing to do in the fall?

I had my first visit to APA today and had a blast! You all asked some great questions, which I always love:) Here's a list of the titles that I brought with me and most will be available on your next bookmobile visit:

· The Lightning Thief By Rick Riordan
· Code Orange By Caroline Cooney
· Down the Rabbit Hole By Peter Abrahams
· Things Not Seen By Andrew Clements
· Elsewhere By Gabrielle Zevin
· City of Bones By Cassandra Clare
· Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie By David Lubar
· City of Ember By Jeanne DuPrau
· The Compound By S.A. Bodeen

Hope to see you all soon in the library and can't wait to visit APA again!
