It's been great to welcome all of the children back and see the excited new faces of the Kindergarteners! The week flew by - as it always seems to - and we've finished it off with a BANG here at the Library...
Jean Marzollo, author of the popular "I Spy " and "Shanna" series as well as dozens of other children's books, visited with grades K through 2. Mrs. Marzollo is the great aunt of Peter (K) and Allen (Gr 2) Martin and was kind enough to donate her time to speak about creating "I Spy" books and introduce us to her new E-picture books. You can access these (free) interactive "story game books" on her website http://www.jeanmarzollo.com/. The site has books that can be read to the viewer or that the viewers can read themselves and it has lots of fun (learning)games. This visit was a huge treat and enjoyed by all! Special thanks go to Drayton Martin for helping to arrange the visit. Next week, we'll have a slide show of the visit featured on the front page of the Memorial School website so come back then and check it out.
In the meantime, have a great weekend and HAPPY READING!
