I am one of them.  One of the readers who has been eagerly awaiting the release of book 3 in The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare.  My wait is over today, March 19, 2013Clockwork Princess is officially released, and I am #1 on the waiting list.  Don't be jealous!  And don't forget to add your name to the list.  Maybe you can re-read the other two titles while you wait.

Hoover City Schools will be on Spring Break next week.  If you and your family decide to have a stay-cation, make sure that Hoover Public Library is part of it!  We have an amazing line-up of bird-brained programs for both kids and teens.  The overall theme is Birds of a Feather Read Together.  Here's a breakdown of each event.
KIDS
The Pigeon Wants an Audience! on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 10:30 a.m.
This party takes place throughout the Kid Zone.  The Pigeon will start with a hilarious skit that (unknown to him) will keep being interrupted by other Mo Willems's characters -- the Duckling, Elephant & Piggie, Edwina the Dinosaur, and Big Frog .  There will be two games, Puppy Training and Hot Dog Dress Up, and a paper plate pigeon craft.  All kids will receive a bus driver number, cookies without nuts, and Piggie Punch.

They are finally here and definitely worth the wait!  Our games computers have been replaced with mounted iPads.  There are six preschool iPads and four elementary iPads.  Stop by the Kid Zone and give them a test drive.  Featured apps are listed below.
