Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Really Liked but Can’t Remember Anything About
This theme is so perfect for me because I can never remember what books are about – I barely remember titles and authors, but I can usually remember covers and remember if I read it, as for details – once I finish a title, those details leave my brain to…

(Unofficial) Top Ten Tuesday: Picture Book Sequels
I love to share my book knowledge with families at the library – especially when I get to tell them their favorite stories are part of a series! Check out these great sequels (and trilogies!) Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast by Josh Funk, illustrated by Brendan Kearney The Case…

Series Books – a resource to make you a little less crazy!
I don’t know how familiar you are with the series in your library, but I always cringe when a kid asks me what the next book in the Warriors series is. Sometimes finding the next book is easy, while other times it’s nearly impossible! But, I found a tool provided by the…

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Event
There’s not much to say about the phenomenon of The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Jeff Kinney has created a series of books that kids are dying to read; epseically boys and that’s awesome! We decided to host an event at this time of the year because the last…
