Book Buzz--Weather or Not

Our book club for 2nd and 3rd graders finished the year with a flood of activity!  We started with riddles and weather sayings from the "Bee Hat."
"How did Ben Franklin feel when he found out lightning was electicity?"  He was SHOCKED.  Many laughs later, we shared our weather-related reads and finished the evening by making sun-catchers. Fun photos here!

Our book recs:

Kira and Liam --Twister on Tuesday by Mary Pope Osborne

Book Buzz--Artsy Smartsy

Book Buzz, our book club for 2nd and 3rd graders, gathered last RAINY Monday night.  First, the Riddle Hat--"What is a cat's favorite color?" PURRRR-PLE.
Next, we shared books about art, dance, and music. Many of these were picture books where the illustrations were works of art;  most were biographies.

Book Buzz----One-Word Wonders

Book Buzz, the book club for 2nd and 3rd graders, met this week to share books with one-word titles.  We welcomed new member, Lydia, and hope she'll be back to join us next month. I must say, you kids are getting pretty skilled at sharing books without revealing the ending.  Everybody leaves with lots of ideas for future reading. Check out these photos of our craft time. 

READ--our one-word rec for the following books!

Ben--Socks by Beverly Cleary

Roll Out the Red Carpet!

Book Buzz, our book club for 2nd and 3rd graders, met last Monday night to share award-winning books for children. Afterwards, we created ribbons for inventive book awards of our own ("Best Book About Rodents"???).  For more photos, follow this link.

Our next meeting is Monday night, February 11, when we'll share "One-Word Wonders"--books with one-word titles.   Check out our bookmarks at the Book Buzz display or ask a librarian for suggestions. Remember to register online or call 444-7830.

This month's recommendations:

Book Buzz! Brand Spankin' New

We buzzzzzzz'ed into a new book group for 2nd and 3rd grade kids! Before talking books, we quizzed each other with riddles from the Bee-Hat-- "What do bumblebees wear on the beach? --Bee-kinis!" Then we shared our favorite characters and events from books published in 2012. Here are the recs from tonight's discussion:

Attention Seniors!

Are you a member of the Hoover Senior Center? If you are, we would love for you to join the monthly book discussion group. The group meets on the second Wednesday morning of each month at 9:30 a.m. to discuss a different book.

In August, the discussion is centered on Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay and in September, the group will be talking about The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. We would love to see you there!

Senior Center Book Group

Did you know that Hoover's Senior Center has a book group? Each month the members get together to discuss a book of the group's choosing. May's selection is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson and June's discussion is on Jeffrey Zaslow's The Girls from Ames.

If you are a member of the Senior Center, we would love for you to come and join us for a lively book discussion on the second morning of each month at 9:30 a.m. And if you are not a senior, but know someone who is, pass this along!
