Merton Pre-K class

We had special visitors this morning at the library....Merton Pre-K kids came to the library for a visit. The kids were great and participated in the storytimes. After stories, we did a scarecrow craft and they looked around the kids library. We ended with a Froggy book because it is always good to end with a fantastic book.

Thanks for coming kids!

J.K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer in a Graphic Novel?

Catching Fire

The long anticipated sequel to The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins came out today. Catching Fire is an incredible read. I was able to procure an advance copy of the book and have been waiting and waiting to talk about it. The library will be getting its copy soon. If interested, put your name in the suggestion book (children's) as this book will be on reserve for a long time.
