Book Club Answer

So a few weeks ago I mentioned that we were going to have a Book Club meeting about the book Fatal Crossing.  The meeting turned out great!  We had Coffee brewing (a very long time, come to mention it), the muffins were amazing (I waited towards the end and they were very delicious) and had people showing up and WANTING to discuss the book with us!!!  It was great :) :)  Only for the part that only Two people showed, it was a very nice meeting.  The two folks that showed are part of another book group so that was actually perfect because in the end us Librarians asked them what else should we have or bring to our book club.  They were very helpful in that department.
We did decide on our club name.  We are now called:



There is a lot you can do with the title being "Book Tasting".  For instance this picture:  



We certainly had fun making this photo.  We couldn't stop laughing!!  Trying to devour books like you would pasta.  We actually saw this idea on Pinterest and we thought if we all picked Book Tasting as the title, we would just have to do this!  Guess what?!?!?  Tif (left side of picture) and I (right side of picture) are have a blast (and a headache) trying to find books for our book club that other book clubs haven't done recently.  Out next book is called The Year of Pleasures By:  Elizabeth Berg for October.  Again on a Saturday and again in the morning (oh joy...well at least there will be coffee and some Apple Cider I hear).



We even started making posters and placed them all over town to get people excited about coming to the Library for a "Book Tasting" on Berg's book.  Plus bookmarks!!!

Oh yea, we want people to come to this thing and help us out and getting more connected with our community.  I will definitely let you folks know what is going on in our book groups and placing our discussion questions on here and hopefully our answers as well.  Stay tuned for more "Book Tasting" adventures!!!!

Guided Reading Level for Your Children

Here at the Shelby Library we love to help out.  Anything the public needs, we try our best to help them out. Now I'm not saying that we work miracles or anything, but if we can't find the answers we try to help you find someone who can!! Many of the times we would be getting patrons to come in that just needs to find a business.  Whether it be the businesses phone number, fax number or just point to where the building is!!  Many patrons heard a book on the radio and would love to read it, but just can't remember the title nor the author.  But they remember the radio station!!  We also get some people that come in and say I picked up this book not realizing it was part of the series.  Do you know the titles of the others and do you have them?  Or they saw a book on the book stand somewhere and want to read it but just can't remember the title nor the author, nor what it's all about but knows for sure, for sure that the cover of the book was Blue!   Those are jus

Happy New Year, Monkey

I know this is long overdue but.....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! It has been very busy at the Library trying to get back at the pace of actually working.  Checking on book overdue, getting back into the habit of checking in and out books, helping people finding books, (remembering where everything is) and of course picking up that pesky habit of actually waking up and getting out of bed. :) The Library had no trouble picking up the pace though.  People coming in after the holidays looking for new books to check out; needing help with their NEW Nooks, Kindles and iPads that they got for Christmas; faxing, making copies for their work.  Or just people need to check their emails.  Just getting back in the habit of day to day lives.  Seeing familiar faces, talking about what we did on our Christmas/New Years vacation, who did we see.  And then seeing new faces just dropping by, on their way home but need a print of their plane tickets.   Now it is starting be like any other day so I have take

Goodnight June

Goodnight June By: Sarah Jio   When you were a child, stories were read to you in all forms. Now a days it's in the form of television and movies. But there was a time where adults used to READ to their children. Either it was to calm the child down, or just for pleasure. The child get to spend that time frame dreaming of knights in shining armor slaying dragons, saving queens. Or living in fairy tales and talking to animals. After the story ends, they either dream into that world, or not. It's just a bunch of stories. They are not real.   So when they grow up to be adults, that's all they think of children's stories....false. Not real, no real honor behind children's books.   Or is there? June Anderson is a successful professionally and living the dream. Only her dream doesn't quite reach into her personal life but for her she is okay with that. Until she receives a letter stating that someone from her childhood whom she loved very much had passe
