We read "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" today ...

and the Bear Cubs put on their best "sour, Grinchy frowns."

This is what the Explorers looked like from behind my desk when I showed them that I have a copy of the new "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" book. Unfortunately (or fortunately) it wasn't ready to check out yet. I was waiting for a shipment of bar codes. I just got them and promised the kids a bunch of new books in time for holiday checkouts. (new Rick Riordans, too). I'm not sure what I'm going to do about the 30 or so who've asked if they can have Wimpy Kid first. I might just put it out on top of a shelf and let she/he with the sharpest eyes win.

Thank you to everyone who's been ordering through our Amazon link: tinyurl.com/amazonseab. Since Sept. 1, we're up to almost $150 in credit earned for the library! You can also get there through portals on this page and myseabury.org. At Amazon's good prices, that's quite a few books.

Apologies for the sporadic blog entries. I have lots to say, just not so much time. One of my New Year's resolutions, made in December, is to update more often.
