National Library Week is a time to celebrate the contributions of libraries, librarians and library workers in communities nationwide – and the perfect time to Create Your Own Story @ your Library.
In keeping with that theme, we’re inviting you to share your story with us.
Each child (0-12) who visits the library during National Library week will receive a “Story of Me” keepsake paper journal and be entered into a drawing for a mystery prize!
Or leave your FIRST name and the library branch you go to here and you’ll be entered to win that way.
Good luck!

 June 25th is Eric Carle’s birthday–and a great time to check out some of the books from the beloved author and illustrator’s long career. You probably know Carle as the creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar (1969), but did you know that his very next book was also about food? Pancakes, Pancakes (1970) is the story of Jack, who must gather eggs from the chickens and milk from the cow before he can learn how to make delicious pancakes (with his mother’s help, of course). In recent years, Carle has published books about kangaroos, fireflies, chamelons, seahorses and even rubber ducks (10 Little Rubber Ducks, 2005). |

Steig died in 2003 at the age of 95, but his work lives on, and his loveable ogre continues to charm children around the world. Shrek fans can see more of his adventures in the new movie Shrek Forever After, which debuts in theaters on May 21.
