Information on events, library related happenings, and other deep thoughts from our library staff.

Okay, we admit it. There was maybe a little teeny tiny (okay huge) amount of nonsense in this month's Reader's Studio. But we did focus on nonfiction books. Here's the list of what we read. And we've included a snippet of information that we learned from each book. Hopefully it will entice you to read it to find out more.

Ana - A ValueTales Treasury: Stories for Growing Good People by Spencer Johnson
(Ana's favorite part was about Harriet Tubman, who helped escaped slaves.)

Aziza - The Pebble First Guide to Snakes by Katy R. Kudela (Aziza's favorite species in the book was the Indian Python)

We had 86 people attend our Lego Block Party! Make sure you stop by the online photo gallery to see all of the amazing things our 7 to 12-year-olds created. You'll also see pictures of some kids seriously concentrating on mastering the game Lego Chopsticks. Thanks to our local Lego Store in the Galleria for donating Mar/Apr 2012 issues of Lego Club magazine for all of our participants!

Stay tuned for our next Tween Scene event in April: DS Game Day.

Eleven of us braved the sleet on Monday, February 13 to share fractured fairy tales with the Reader's Studio, including two new friends. Welcome, Citlali and Sofia!

To understand Stieg's work, I said, one had to know who he really was.--pg. 185

I picked up this book yearning to learn more about the author who died before his novel legacy was even published. That fact in itself intrigued me; I just really wanted to learn more about Stieg Larsson's life from an unbiased source. With this relatively short biography, you get the straight facts--no beating around the bush, just the candid and honest facts--from the one constant presence in his life: Eva Gabrielsson.

The American Library Association (ALA) announced the top books, video, and audiobooks for children and teens at its Midwinter Meeting in Dallas, Texas on Monday, January 23, 2012. The full list can be found at this website. Here are a few of the highlights. Several library favorites made the list, but there were some disappointed Hoover Public Librarians this morning. How do you feel about this supposed best-of-the-best?
