Texas Book Festival

Last weekend I attended the Texas Book Festival in Austin. My daughter, Arabella, and I had lots of fun visiting the different tents to meet authors, hear about books, participate in arts and crafts activities, and meet some of our favorite characters.

Here's Arabella and me with the Cat in the Hat!

(Arabella was excited to meet the Cat until we got close; then she got scared!),

And here's Arabella taking a lunch break on the lawn of the State Capitol. (Her nose is orange because she had her face painted like a cat!)

Proudly Caring for Our Shelves...

Adopt-A-Shelf is underway, and the student volunteers are doing a great job of making sure our shelves look nice and neat!

Here's Travis, making sure his in order:

Keep up the good work, everyone!

3rd Grade Author of the Month: Steven Kellogg

Our author of the month for 3rd grade is Steven Kellogg. Steven Kellogg is a great author AND illustrator who brings a story to life with his detailed and often humorous pictures. This week in the library we're reading a book illustrated by Steven Kellogg called How Much is a Million? It's giving us an idea of just how big that number is!
