Every January, we post a blog series about our favorite books of the previous year. It's a very popular list of titles. The 2012 series will be posted January 8-10, 2013. BUT . . . you can see, hear, touch, and maybe even win some of the books at our sneak peek event.  Best Books of 2012 is coming to the Kid Zone on Monday, December 17, 2012 at 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Our outreach librarian Katie Jane (that's me!) will present over 125 of our staff's favorite picture, fiction, and nonfiction books for children, preschool through sixth grade. There will be refreshments provided by Earth Fare, door prizes, and book lists to help you during your holiday shopping.  This event is geared for parents, grandparents, teachers, and librarians. You don't have to register, but if you have questions, you can call 444-7830. Hope to see you there!
