Book Bag: Friendswood Youth Services Blog

So I've decided to dub Monday's on the blog "Movie Mondays." These entries will be dedicated to movies based on books. Upcoming movies and older movies worth remembering and the books that inspired them. I'll discuss what I think are the pros and cons of the movie vs. the book (and I want to hear your comments, so don't hesitate to speak up!). If there are any movies you think I should write about, shoot me an email at librariansti@gmail.com! Today's movie is Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader One version of the book and the poster for the movie (it's going to be 3-D!!) Now, I just saw the trailer this weekend, I had no idea that they were making it! I never got around to watching Prince Caspian, though apparently I need to now. Voyage of the Dawn Treader is my favorite book in the Chronicles of Narnia series, so it's no wonder I'm so excited about seeing it as a movie. :) If you haven't read the book, here's a brief

I found this video today promoting the New York Public Library's Anti-prom 2010: glamprom , a dance party for every kind of teen So awesome! I love that libraries are a place that are accepting of everyone, and I hope you like it too! :)

I spent most of the weekend in New Braunfels/San Marcos/Austin with my sisters shopping, floating the river, eating and seeing my favorite band in concert. It was a lovely holiday weekend, and I hope yours was too. The opening act for the concert was a singer I really love. She's called Serena Ryder, and one of her songs was chosen for a Canadian school program called Music Monday* that highlights how important music education in schools is. The song is called Sing! Sing! and I wanted to share it with you, especially since music is such an important part of my life: * http://www.burnabynow.com/entertainment/Sing+Sing+they+Monday/2998445/story.html
