Did you know that many of your favorite celebrities have written children’s books? Even Herman Munster wrote a book. Some are funny, some are musical, and most have a moral or lesson to share. A few of them are actually good. After reading over 50 children’s books (all JE’s), all celebrities are not equal when it comes to writing.
Do you like television? I know I do. Do you like a little mystery in your life? Television is full of mystery and suspense and it has become my passion. Have you heard of the television show Bones?

Before there was Greg Heffley, the wimpy kid of diary fame, there was five year-old David. No, David! is the grown-up expression of David Shannon’s experiences as that five year-old. David thinks he can’t do anything right because all day long, every day, his life is full of correction and admonition. His mother loves him, but boy, can he make a mess.
We were recently visited by Judith Hawley and her wonderful dog Flora. They presented a program at the Buckner Branch. The really awesome thing about these two visitors is that they have a special relationship. Judith is blind and Flora is her guide dog. Did you know that when a guide dog has his harness on, you shouldn’t talk to him or pet him because he is working? When the harness comes off, he is off work and becomes like any other dog. The children were especially fascinated with the way Judith cleans up after Flora, you know bathroom breaks and such.
