Bookstore

With all the lastest news on closings of Borders across the nation it reminds me of my dream to own a tiny little hometown bookstore. I always had the idea but the picture became real to me after I saw the movie "You've Got Mail" with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. I loved loved loved the idea of that quaint little bookstore where Meg Ryan would read to the kids in the afternoons with her princess hat on and how the little ones just loved it. Then after the story they raced around the bookstore and parents were waiting so eagerly to buy them a new book to take home and read. She knew all the names of all the books. She knew the authors of all the books. I wanted to be her. Just a dream. Wish it were real!!!

Author: Stephen King

Did you know that it was a Librarian who led Stephen King to such success? She introduced him to the book, Lord of the Flies. Interesting. I believe she deserves a THANK YOUUUU~

Only one week left of summer for me!

I can't believe the summer has gone so fast. It will be time for me to be back as the "Library Lady" next Wednesday, August 3rd. I have so much to do! I need some help picking out some new books to add to this year's collection. I have some suggestions already but want to make sure I get everyone's opinion! PLEASE NOTE my budget has been cut by almost 2,000.00 dollars this year...... :(
Also, I need some fresh ideas for Accelerated reader parties. Let's try something different this year. Let's get some feedback going and get some great things planned. Discuss HERE!!
