WINNER! 2012 Parent's Choice Awards

The Hoover Public Library was once again voted Best Storytime in the 2012 Parent's Choice Awards, sponsored by Birmingham Magazine and Alabama Baby & Child Magazine. All winners are listed in the May issue of Birmingham Magazine. Congratulations to our storytellers! Three cheers (wait, better make that seven) for Mr. Jeremy, Miss Shawna, Miss Polly, Miss Laura, Miss Katie Jane, Miss Traci, and Miss April!

Our award-winning storytellers are taking a break from our Weekly Storytimes until after Labor Day. But Summer Reading is fast approaching, so you'll have an opportunity to see them Dream Big soon.

Bill Nye the Science Guy Celebrates 20 Years!

Twenty years ago, Bill Nye the Science Guy made his television debut. 100 episodes later, with more than 28 Emmys to his name and legions of fans, Nye is still proving that science rules!

The following titles are available right here at Hoover Public Library.

Reader's Studio Says "Oh Brother! Oh Sister!"

We had a small but enthusiastic group at the last Reader's Studio of the school year on Monday, April 16, 2012 at 6:30 pm. Our theme was Oh Brother! Oh Sister!, and we laughed a lot as we shared the books we read about siblings.

Elephant & Piggie Party

Admit it. You absolutely LOVE Mo Willems. Even after your kids have gone to sleep, you keep reading the books about an extremist pigeon, an enthusiastic pig, and a cautious elephant named Gerald. Don't worry. You're not alone. We've yet to meet an individual, kid or adult, who doesn't want to join the Mo Willems fan club. And that's why we decided to throw an Elephant & Piggie Party this Saturday, April 14, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. The books in that series work as bedtime read-alouds, beginning readers, and quick laughs for any age. Lots of wisdom there, too.
