Hey you guys! If you stumble on to here, please know that I am going to be on leave this fall. It means I'll be absent for a bunch of days in a row. I need to be home to be with my daughter just like your parents are home with you at different times during the week. I have been thinking about you guys all summer, and I know you're all going to do amazing! I'm going to miss library class, fun in the mornings, and eating lunch with you guys. My email is still working, so email me whenever you want! Be safe and well, and I'll see you guys soon!

These were the teachers' favorites...
Disney Pixar's Onward is set to come out in March of 2020. With D&D flavor a'la that unending game from Stranger Things, this new computer animated movie brings back all the fantastic creatures we read about in kindergarten such as elves, ogres, and dragons. Feel like escaping into a fantasy world? Check out The Girl with the Dragon Heart by Stephanie Burgis and suggested as a library addition by GE from 5th grade! Coming to the library in January!
Since the late 1960s this pup has been entertaining fans of all generations. Scooby and Shaggy will be back this spring in an all new movie, but you can read about them in the library now! Stop by and borrow Zombie Treasure, or any of the other Scooby Doo books we already have and gear up for Mystery Inc.'s new adventure!
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of Hugh Lofting's novel, Dr. Dolittle. The 1920 work about a struggling internist turned veterinarian who harnesses the power to speak to his beastly clients is not currently available in the library (although I'd wager at one point that it was) but will get a new cinematic version as Robert Downey Jr. brings the famous character to movie screens. Only time will tell if Iron Man will be as successful as the previous Doctor Dolittle, 1967's Rex Harrison.
Jack London shaped me into the reader that I am today when I was forced to read his novel, White Fang, and pushed (arduously) through the start of the book as I sat hunched over in the back of PS #1 school's library to find that a few chapters in I couldn't put it down. Now Harrison Ford, better known as the man who "made the kessel run in less than 12 parsecs" stars along side Buck, a curious and courageous dog as they bring London's 1903 novel The Call of the Wild, to life on film. Read the novel this winter at the library, and see the movie in February!
In 2001, author Eoin Colfer published Artemis Fowl and brought a secret word of fantasy and the incredible to bookshelves everywhere. This August Disney brings that mystery and magic to the big screen as the wealthy and infamous child criminal faces enchanted challenges he could never have imagined when this film flies into theaters in May, but you can read the book at the library this winter!
Alert: Disney has already pushed the release date of the movie back once, from August 2019 to May 2020.
