So many new books...I don't know where to start!

This has been a great week. So many books have come into the library that I have been waiting for. All of them are part of a series:

Sisters Grimm: Book 7 - The Everafter War by Michael Buckley
The Awakening by Kelly Armstrong
Fagile Eternity by Melissa Marr

I am also reading a really funny book called: The Wizard, the Witch and 2 girls from Jersey by Lisa papademtriou.

Let me know what books you are reading!

Fragile Eternity

All those Wicked Lovely fans do not have to wait much longer. The library has bought the third book - Fragile Eternity - by Melissa Marr. I have been waiting for this book for a long time. I grabbed this quote off of Wikipedia:
"Seth never expected he would want to settle down with anyone—but that was before Aislinn. She is everything he'd ever dreamed of, and he wants to be with her forever. Forever takes on new meaning, though, when your girlfriend is an immortal faery queen."
I can't wait to read it!

Visit to Maimonides

Hi, I just got back from visiting the Grade 2 class at Maimonides. What a great class! We went over how to use the library catalog and they are now experts :)

I read a few stories to them and we made ladybugs as a craft.

Thanks to Mrs. Pinsky for inviting me to her class.

Jennifer Lloyd

This morning we had the pleasure of having Jennifer Lloyd at the library. We had the grade 3 class from Merton attend the workshop. They were an amazing audience! Jennifer read from her 2 books - Looking for Loons and One Winter Night. After the readings, Jennifer had a craft for the kids to do which kept them quite occupied. A big thank you to Blue Metropolis for including us in their author tour and to Jennifer for coming to our library. I am looking forward to reading her upcoming books.

Authors, authors, authors

The Blue Metropolis Literature festival is now on! Last year they introduced a new component - children's literature. Our library is fortunate to have 3 amazing authors visit our facility this week. We have Jennifer Lloyd this morning, Monique Polak tomorrow and Anne Renaud on Sunday afternoon. Feel free to come and listen to them speak about their books and their writing process.

All you ever wanted to know about volcanoes

We are really lucky -the Redpath Museum is coming to the library on May 17th to talk about volcanoes. The museum always puts on a great show. At the end of their talk, we will make our own volcanoes and make them erupt. Should be a good time. Tickets are required for this event...$2.00.

Twilight on DVD

Yes, we now have Twilight on DVD! My personal opinion....the book is much better :)

Let me know your thoughts...movie or book? Which is better?
