Robert Munsch Library Display

It is incredible how quickly Robert Munsch books go out. We started the display last Saturday and we are almost out of his books. There are so many great Robert Munsch books out there. My all-time favourite? I love Alligator Baby but then I think about Paperbag Princess and Mud Puddle which are also in my top 5.
What are you favourite Munsch books?

New Young Adult Books

I love reading brand new books, don't you? Here are a couple of new young adult books the library has acquired:


1. The secret year by Jennifer Hubbard ( I have almost finished reading it. I like it a lot)

2. Tangled by Carolyn Mackler

3. A conspiracy of kings by Megan Whalen
4. Numbers by Rachel Ward ( I read this one but was so so on it. The concept of the book was interesting but I found that it fell apart half way through it).



Let me know what you think of these books or any book you have read recently.

We are now on Facebook!!!

More than just an encyclopedia ....

I had to go to the Canadian Encyclopedia website yesterday to get information for someone. While I was on the site, I noticed that they have spruced it up and it offers a whole lot of different information. They offer a this day in history, a quote of the day as well as interesting quick facts. For instance, today's quick fact is: North America’s first commercial oil well was drilled in 1858 by James Williams’ Canada Oil Company in Lambton County, Ont.
