It's book fair week in the Eubank library - definitely one of the most exciting times of the year. I love the faces of students and adults alike as they come into the library and see the displays, racks and tables full of future "forever" books. The "oooohs" and "aaahhhhs," the students clutching hands and smiling, the sheer giddiness and joy over seeing books, yes, BOOKS makes my reading heart explode with happy tingly feelings.
Book Fair is a great time to sample and try out so many different books. I remember years ago hearing the idea that when a teacher or librarian gives students a taste of a book by sharing it in some way - reading a sample, viewing a book trailer, or giving a book talk, that it is something akin to "blessing" the book. We will be "blessing" lots of different books this week and paying close attention to the titles that grab students' attention.
This week we will be exploring these titles:
 |
| Pete the Cat and the New Guy by Kimberly and James Dean |
 |
| Nightsong by Ari Berk |
 | ||
| Sisters by Raina Talgemeier |
 |
| Chupacabra by Roland Smith |
This is just the beginning - it's going to be a GOOD week!
