there’s a bear in there, take your bear to school day
This year for Take Your Teddy to School Day, first and second graders read and wrote about bears in the library. Fifth graders even joined in to write some informational bear books so that there was always enough to read. The library created a special bear cave in our reading area so our bears could read or hibernate. One of the great bear books we read was The Bear Ate Your Sandwich, a humorous book to make us ask questions and possibly to distrust dogs. Students brought their bears to the library where we all heard great bear stories, had a bear snack, and got some cuddles in while we learned.
the best halloween seasonal book you haven’t read yet
Jonathan Stroud has been one of my favorite authors for years, and recently he has written another amazing series for fantasy fans, this one with a dash of horror.  Lockwood & Co. features teen detectives out to rid England of ghosts who are not at all harmless and definitely go bump in the night. Only teenagers and children are able to actually see ghosts in these thrilling tales, and the adults can’t do anything but ask for their help to avoid dangerous encounters every night. Sword wearing, salt bomb throwing, and ghost talking detectives solve scary hauntings in each amazing book. Three books in the series are available now, I can’t wait for the fourth! Come see us to learn more about Lockood & Co. or other October reads.
