On Saturday, I attended the 10th annual National Book Festival on the mall in Washington, DC. The highlights of my day included getting books signed by Jeff Smith, Phillip Hoose, Claudette Colvin, and Pat Mora.
Phillip Hoose is the author of a 2009 Newbery Honor Book called Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice. I am in the process of reading the book, which is about a 15 year old African-American girl who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery Bus nine months before Rosa Parks. The author tells the story of this unsung Civil Rights heroine.

New Books!
We have new books arriving daily in the library. Stop by to check out some of the great books that have been added.
A few of my personal favorites are biographies on Honda (yes, the man behind the cars), the Brothers Switzer (who invented Day-Glo colors) and one on Bruce Lee, the martial arts master.
We have also added about several series to our collection including Miami Jackson, Nikki and Deja, Ruby and the Booker Boys, Sammy Keyes, Sassy and Suddenly Supernatural.
Additionally, we have bought 26 more titles from Gail Gibbons, one of the best non-fiction authors/illustrators for children.
This is only the beginning of a great year for our growing library collection.
See you @ the library!
