What did we do in March?

The Story Hour kids celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with our annual headbands.

    

During Spring Break the library held two different events. First we colored and folded paper air planes.

     

After paper air planes we had a “Decorate Cupcakes” day. The kids came picked a cup cake and then added frosting and sprinkles. As you can imagine the kids really enjoyed this.

        

And of course, we have been bar coding.

Janet Evanovich’s series about Bounty Hunter Stephanie Plum tops the bestsellers lists every year. Each book has a number in the title.

The Hunger Games’
“The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins”Scholastic

It seems as if every new cast member that was announced for The Hunger Games movie got a new story in entertainment magazines. Perhaps that’s because the books are fantastic, and we all can’t wait to see how they will translate onto the big screen. We’ll get our chance in March 2012, when the first Hunger Games movie is released.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’
“Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith”Grand Central

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith turns the life of one of America’s most respected presidents into a Gothic nightmare. Funny? Gross? Probably depends on your sense of humor.

There is no need to announce this one! If you’ve seen Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn – Part 1, you surely know that the last movie in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga is due out on November 16, 2012.

Life of Pi’

Yann Martel’s 2001 bestseller, Life of Pi, is finally coming to the big screen. Over the years, there were rumors that a number of different directors — Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Alfonso Cuarón and M. Night Shyamalan — but the film is finally being made by Ang Lee. The movie will be 3D and will be released in December.
