A special collection of twenty-two books has been added to the Children’s Collection at Livingston County Library in memory of Leda Adams. When Nancy Peyton visited the library to discuss her mother’s memorial she requested a focus on poetry books, so there are eight poetry collections and five picture books written in rhyme. Mrs. Adams was a teacher at Pleasant Ridge in Grundy County so the other books chosen are nine of the Magic Tree House Research Guides which have been on the library wish list for some time. These are nonfiction books which Mary Pope Osborne has written to accompany her popular fiction series and are popular with teachers as well as children.
Anyone who would like to view the entire list can access it from the Livingston County Library web page (www.livingstoncountylibrary.org) by typing: Adams, Leda, in the subject box of the Library Catalog section. The books are now available to the public for check-out.
 

Boo Fest-(Pictures can be accessed by clicking on the "children" tab above, then "events" and finally the "Boo Fest" icon on the events page!)

A long line of eager children await their book treat!

Amber, Robin and Salina join the costumed fun!

“Books Make the Best Treats” proved to be true again at Boo Fest as books donated by the Friends of Livingston County Library and Alpha Tau Sigma, the “Teachers Who Read” sorority, made it possible for the library to give a book to each child who participated. The gusty wind made it impossible to serve the children outside the building so the loaded book carts were hastily moved inside to the first floor lobby and the line of children and their families was continuous until 6 p.m. The cold, windy weather made standing in the long line outside the library uncomfortable and may have had a impact on the numbers this year. A total of 669 books were given out: 147 board books, 216 chapter books, 201 easy books and 105 non-fiction books.

During October 300 new books have arrived and are being processed as quickly as possible. The 131 new items can already be viewed in alphabetical order from the Events page of the Children’s Department page. These books can be reserved from that point or stop in and see the displays.
