The Buzz on Books Book of the Week # 3

As children prepare for the first day of school, the perfect book for those starting Kindergarten is "Countdown to Kindergarten" by Alison McGhee. It is ten days before school starts, and the main character in the book is worried she will be made fun of and isolated because she cannot tie her shoes on her own. Every day she counts down to the BIG DAY, trying to learn how to tie her shoes. I won't ruin the end for you, but the girl realizes going to Kindergarten is nothing to worry about. Come find this book at the Twinsburg Public Library and check it out today!

Summer Reading Club is Over!

Keep your eyes open for your name!

The Buzz on Books Book of the Week #2

Waking up this morning to the thunderstorm, I decided this week's Book of the Week should match the weather we will be having all week. Mary Lyn Ray's "Red Rubber Boot Day" is a rainy day book about a boy explaining what all there is to do on a rainy day. Drawing, playing make believe, and even splashing in the puddles until the sun shines again are some of the activities that the boy participates in. This book will make a great book for a beginning reader any day of the week, rain or shine. Come check it out today at the Twinsburg Public Library!

The Buzz on Books Book of the Week # 1

The first book chosen for our Buzz on Books Book of the Week is titled "Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy" by Jane O'Connor. This is the second book in the Fancy Nancy series, but there are several other books that Jane O'Connor wrote. In the book, this stylish little girl (Nancy) is positive that a cute puppy will be the perfect accessory for herself. However when her family decides to get a dog, they want a big, ordinary dog. Nancy cannot stand the thought of something so plain and dull! This book is brand new and perfect for the little princess that loves to dress up! Come to the Twinsburg Public Library and check out the book today!

The Buzz on Books Book of the Week

Every week, the Children's Place will be posting a book of the week. This new weekly blog, titled The Buzz on Books Book of the Week, will include a brief summary of the book, and why the book was chosen. The post will also include a picture of the book. Although many of the books posted will be picture books, we will soon include books for other ages as well. Come on in to the Children's Place of the Twinsburg Public Library to check out any Buzz on Books Book of the Week books.

It's a Boy!

On Sunday June 24th, 2007 Miss Katie delivered Baby James Victor Lipinski IV! Mom and baby are both doing very well, and Miss Katie will be back to work soon after the 2007-2008 school year begins. However, if you are roaming the Children's Place, you will probably see pictures of Baby James as he grows over the next few weeks, as well as Miss Katie, who promises to stop in with her new bundle of joy from time to time. Congratulations, Miss Katie!
