Are you still blogging?

I took a little break over the long weekend, sorry!

I hope you all had a great weekend with your families, Easter Egg hunting, eating, etc. I know I did. We're all too old for Easter Egg Hunting at my house (my youngest sister, Robin is 18), but we did buy an hilarious chocolate bunny who's name is Dude 'da' Bunny. He has bling. It is awesome.

Have I mentioned the Poetry Contest yet? I forget...Well the 5th Annual Friendswood Library Poetry Contest is taking place RIGHT NOW! We're taking entries until April 21st and we'll announce the winners on April 24th at a special Coffee House Poetry Reading. The winners (and anyone else) are invited to read their poetry. And snacks, did I mention snacks? Mmmm snacks! :)

In other news there is a TAG meeting tomorrow!

For a non-library related post head over to my page on Maureen Johnson's Ning

DFTBA,
Sti

I created these lists through an alchemy involving age of the protagonists, themes, genre, tone, complexity, reader skill/comfortability level, events and topics a student will likely encounter in their studies during the school year, and books they are unlikely to read for school. I also tried to pick materials that published in the last few years or will be published by June 2021. Preference to #ownvoices and marginalized authors. Below you'll find links to their lists broken up by grade level. Whether you know an avid reader who always...

Coraline Trailer!

Here's the best trailer for Coraline so far. And it's actually Neil Gaiman's (he wrote the book) favorite! The movie comes out February 6th and I'll definitely be seeing it that weekend, so if you want to see it with me let me know and we can get a group of people to see it together! I know Kathleen and Mallory are already on board! dftba, Sti
