Welcome Back!

Welcome back to school!  It is going to be a great year in the library, and I am excited to work with your children. I have lots of books to share over the next couple of months, and some great resources for encouraging your children to read more, so make sure to check back periodically.



For this month, rather than a book review, I want to encourage everyone to visit the Morristown Festival of Books next weekend, September 30 - October 1.  They have a GREAT line up of visiting authors, but I am particularly excited about the addition of "Kidfest," a great event highlighting children's books authors.  Some of our students favorite authors will be there, including Nick Bruel, R.L. Stine, Dan Gutman and many more.  The day will include book readings, author signings, activities, arts and crafts, and live music.  This portion of the program is being offered October 1 from 10:00am-4:00pm at the Presbyterian Church Parish House, located at 65 South Street.  I am planning on attending with my family and I hope to see many of you there.
