Our community also has a Festival of Trees and our Friends of the Library
sponsors a tree each year that is decorated by our Teen Advisory Board.
This is a FUN activity! We built a BOOK TREE last year!

Here's a few from my file of YA book quotes (most not recent titles,
though).
"The hearse was Henry's idea." - The Shadow Brothers by A.E. Cannon
" Meeting Harris would never have happened were it not for liberal
quantities of Schlitz and Four Roses." - Harris and Me by Gary Paulsen
" Out at the city limits, there's this sign that says: WELCOME TO CLAYPITTS,
PEARL OF THE PRAIRIE and if you'd believe that, you'll believe anything." -
Don't Look and It Won't Hurt by Richard Peck
" Sometimes, when I stand back and take a good look, I think my parents are
ambassadors from hell." - "A Brief Moment in the Life of Angus
Bethune" from
Athletic Shorts by Chris Crutcher
'The meek don't inherit the earth, I don't care what the Bible says. The
meek inherit the shaft." - Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack by M.E. Kerr
"Lord, I've said it before and I'll say it again: You sure made some
mistakes when You made me. Surely to my soul I must have moss growing in my
head where my brains should be." - Where the Lilies Bloom by Bill and Vera

I always start out with a story. Everybody loves a story and the kids
deserve a little entertainment if they are going to put up with my "what a
library does for you and how it works" speech. - jeri

Hi everyone,
My boss just handed me a notice that said Saginaw libraries read for
5 or 10 hours for their summer reading. We did 25 hours over 8 weeks.
If you did summer reading by time can you please e-mail me with your
total hours. Thank you. Pam

Hello everyone,
Has anyone had a request for book titles that are on the 3-4 grade reading
level but with high school/adult interest level for ESL classes? A patron
has requested help and we are sure someone out there has probably had this
question already!
Thanks.

Hello collective brain! A patron came in today looking for a villain named
"paper bag Eddie". Here is all the information I have. He
read it in the
late 1940's, it may be a series, and the book was about several teenagers
who solved mysteries. The bad guy was "paper bag Eddie".
If anyone
recognizes this, please get back to me.
Thanks

Hi
A customer is hunting out the name of a cartoon her brother-in-law was
nicknamed after. It was 'something' and 'jam sponge'!
I'd appreciate an answer as soon as possible as the person concerned is
turning 70 very soon!
Thanks in advance
