Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.

A Dream in a Bottle

This is an awesome story from Lettersofnote.com:

One rainy Sunday afternoon in 1989...a 7-year-old girl named Amy decided to send something to Roald Dahl. Taking inspiration from her favourite book, The BFG, and using a combination of oil, coloured water and glitter, Amy sent the author...one of her dreams, contained in a bottle. His lovely response can be seen below.
 
 
Come down the library and check out The BFG or another Roald Dahl book and see how you're inspired!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid 7

A new school year always means a new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book.  The newest version is The Third Wheel:  


The book will be released on November 13th and you will have an opportunity to pre-order a copy at our book fair in October.  We already have a few copies on order for the library in anticipation of the waiting lists to come...
