Do you ever notice the display cases when you come to the library?  The cases are located just inside the main entrances to the library and always have unique items from people in and around our community.  This month we have wonderful Snoopy and Garfield collectibles for your viewing pleasure.  Thanks to the owners of these collections for sharing this amazing memorabilia with us!

Sing! Book Review

 

Sing by Joe Raposo

 

This beauty of a book crossed my desk today and I just had to stop and listen (yes, there's an included cd).  The pictures tell a story of three baby birds preparing to leave their nest.  All but one finds his voice and takes flight.  That last little bird struggles to sing but then gives up.  Along comes someone who encourages him and gives him just the push he needs to take flight and sing.  Such a sweet story and the author's son has a message for children in the end of the book.  The message reads:  To every child, everywhere.  Don't worry if it's not good enough:  Just sing!
