Finding Just the Right Book!

Which book do I want? It has to be just the right one. Kids are reading lots of minutes. There is a giant caterpillar in the library tracking how many minutes the kids and the adults read.

Moms and kids and books --it's the RIGHT combination at the LIBRARY.

Is this the book about the baseball player?

Do You Believe in Magic?

We had so much fun with magician Rick Eugene.

We had a workshop and a magic show! A really good time!

What's coming out of that sack?

Wave that crazy, magic wand!

Watch closely--the hand is quicker than the EYE!

Everyone is ready for a story!
