February is for Book Lovers!

Welcome back to a sunny, but cold, day! February 2nd is Groundhog's Day. Will he see his shadow? How much more winter do we need?!?

This week I am in the West Hancock district 2 days. On Wednesday [3-FEB] and Friday [5-FEB]. On Wednesday, I will be in Kanawha. On Friday, I will visiting with the 1st and 4th grades. The 1st graders will listen to If You'll Be My Valentine and do an activity. The 4th graders will make test their media skills knowledge by playing "Dewey You Want to Be a Millionaire?"

You know, you've been "watching" some well-known books at the movies! In 2009, these books were made into movies: Angels & Demons by Dan Brown, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Bennett, Coraline by Neil Gaiman, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling, Hotel for Dogs by Lois Duncan, Inkheart by Cornelia Funke, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Piccoult, Race to Witch Mountain by Alexander Key, Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3 by John Godey, The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger and Whiteout by Greg Rucka to name a few. And don't forget all those Disney movies! Check out www.mcpl.lib.mo.us/readers/movies on the web for more books-made-into-movie titles.

Until next time, curl up with a good book or a good book movie!
