It's been a silly long time since I presented a kitty video. I present you with Keyboard Cat....assuming that you haven't already been presented with Keyboard Cat 5000x already.

You're welcome.

Kevin Brooks is one of my favorite authors. He writes books like Lucas which is about a girl that meets a boy on the beach that the whole town seems to hate. He is blamed for basically the entire town’s problems and she is in the middle, so she is torn. Should she go with the town or follow her heart? I thought this was a great book with many twists and turns. He also wrote Martyn Pig. What do you do when you might have accidentally killed your father? Do you tell the police and risk being put with your horrible aunt or do you hide the body and go on with your life? An absolutely funny book mainly because Martyn is a bit crazy and is always talking to himself and making little comments. Another book by him that I have read is Road of the Dead. In this book, two brothers set out to find the truth about their sister’s murder. This book is very gripping and will have you reading it for hours.

Well, the book club idea is really taking off. So, if you have a little brother or sister who thinks that it's violently unfair that YOU get a book club and they don't...no worries. The first official meeting of the Tween Book Club will be Thursday, June 25th at 5:00 p.m. here at the library. It's open to anyone between the ages of 9-12 and should be a great way to stay cool and get your read on. Snacks and such to be provided, since reading always makes me hungry. :(

Sign-up sheets are available at both circulation desks, or just contact me here at the library! See ya there!

It should come as no surprise that this month's Teen Book Club selection is Beckie Weinheimer's 'Converting Kate.' Pick up or reserve a copy at the library's main desk, then join us for a group discussion on Tuesday, June 30th at 5:00 p.m. As an added bonus, you can also stop by on Tuesday, July 7th at 1:00 p.m. to meet the author and let her know what you think! Questions? E-mail me at diannaleighton@presqueisle.lib.me.us or give me a call at (207) 764-2571. Hope to see you there!
