Remember to go to Seymour Library!

Greetings! I went to Storytime on the Lawn and Seymour on Tuesday, and it was so much fun! CAb you guess who the guest readers were? Cinderella and Prince Charming! They read Cinderella (of course!) and How to be Friends with a Dragon, plus they sang a few songs. There were probably over 100 kids there, and I saw a few Herman friends too!

Be sure to check out these upcoming events!

• Tuesday, August 6: Storytime with Captain Jack the Pirate @ 11AM (Remember to bring a blanket or chairs to sit on)

• Tuesday, Aug. 13: Storytime on the Lawn, 11 a.m. Guest reader: Sen. John DeFrancisco. 

• Every Wednesday, All Day: Drop-in Crafts in the Children's room!

I can't wait to see my Herman friends at the Library!

Seasonal Genres

Hi! I've been out of town for the past month, but I'm back and ready to blog! I was thinking about my reading habits and something made me wonder: I noticed that during the summer time, I usually read funny books or realistic fiction books. But, in the fall, I like reading horror books. Are my reading preferences determined by the seasons? Does Halloween get me in the mood for scary books? Is summer just a happy, fun time, so in turn I read happy fun books? I'm not sure about winter and spring though. Maybe I'll record the books I read over the next year and see if I notice any trends.

Do the seasons affect what genres you read? Think back during the past year. Did you read a certain type of book based on the weather or holidays?

Happy Reading!

Summer is Here!

Hey Everybody! Welcome to summer vay-cay! So...what's the first book that you'll be diving into this summer? I'm starting my summer off with "The Sea of Monsters" by Rick Riordan. Its the second book in the Percy Jackson series. I just love learning about all of the different Greek Gods, Monsters and Heroes!

Happy Reading!

--Mrs. A.

Will you blog with me?

Welcome to the Official Herman Avenue Library Blog!

Hey kids! Its me, Mrs. A. I thought this blog might be a good place for us to talk about what we're reading during summer vacation. I'll try to post once a week. Sometimes I'll add questions for you, sometimes I'll tell you about what I'm reading. Here are a few ground rules:

• No last names please! (For privacy reasons...remember anybody in the world can visit this blog!) You can write Julia A. for instance.
• Only write about what you're reading or answers to questions I pose.
• Please be kind and respectful of all of our readers.

Hope to "see" you on the World Wide Web!

--Mrs. Autovino
