It's October and that means Fall is in full swing! Library club and library helpers will be starting up this week, so listen up for the announcement and then stop in to sign up. I've got some fun stuff planned, starting with getting the library ready for Teen Read Week. So if you've ever wanted to help out in the library, learn to make awesome posters and maybe a video or two, then Library might be for you!
Book of the Week:
Since this is October and the most fun holiday of the year happens to be in October, this month I'll be featuring all our best creepy stories. This week we are starting with one of my favorite authors, Neil Gaiman, and we are featuring not one, but three of his books!
Coraline
Coraline's often
wondered what's behind the locked door in the drawing room. It reveals
only a brick wall when she finally opens it, but when she tries again
later, a passageway mysteriously appears. Coraline is surprised to find a
flat decorated exactly like her own, but strangely different. And when
she finds her "other" parents in this alternate world, they are much
more interesting despite their creepy black button eyes. When they make
it clear, however, that they want to make her theirs forever, Coraline
begins a nightmarish game to rescue her real parents and three children
imprisoned in a mirror. With only a bored-through stone and an aloof cat
to help, Coraline confronts this harrowing task of escaping these
monstrous creatures.
The Graveyard Book
After the grisly murder
of his entire family, a toddler wanders into a graveyard where the
ghosts and other supernatural residents agree to raise him as one of
their own.
Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal
boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling
graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian
who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead. There
are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy. But if Bod leaves
the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack—who has
already killed Bod's family . . .
The Wolves in the Walls
Lucy hears sneaking, creeping,
crumpling noises
coming from inside
the walls.
She is sure there are
wolves living in
the walls
of her house.
