Welcome Back! October book: Loot by Jude Watson

We had a great start to the new school year -- we created a banner featuring flags for each member.  It is now hanging in the Masonville Library's Teen Annex.  We still have a spot for two more Mother-Daughter pairs so if you know of anyone interested, they can contact staff at 519-660-4646.

We will meet Wednesday, October 15, 7-8:30 pm to discuss Jude Watson's Loot: How to Steal a Fortune.  Our craft activity will definitely be jewelry heist inspired!  Hmm, wonder what snack might be appropriate...

Look forward to discussing this fast-paced book with you all.  I loved all of Alfie's quotes of wisdom:

Never trust a guy who says “Trust me.”
If there’s no way out, find a way.
If people were meant to look back, they’d be owls.
Do it any way you want, but don’t do it stupid.

No matter how good you are, kid, remember this: Sometimes you get caught.

See you next month!

New Mother Daughter Session starts...Wed. Sept. 17!

Hope everyone had a great summer!  The new Mother Daughter Book Club session at Masonville starts on Wednesday, September 17, 7 - 8:30 pm in the Sam Neill Room.  Registration is now live so you can visit www.londonpubliclibrary.ca or follow this link to register.  You can also register in person at the branch (30 North Centre Rd.) or call us at 519-660-4646.

There were so many new books to read this summer, and the time flew by!  It was great to listen to many of come to the library to report on what you were reading in the Get Caught Reading program --  from James Dashner's The Maze Runner series to revisiting Veronica Roth's Divergent series to Marie Lu's Legend books.  Yes, series were popular this summer -- it felt like you had the characters with you at the beach, in the park and on the couch!

I'm looking forward to reading some new titles and old favourites and learning about what you'd like to read!

I have some cool crafts and activities in the planning stages -- and I'm always open to suggestions on what you'd like to explore or skills you'd like to learn.





See you all Wednesday, September 17!  If you have any questions about the book club or registering, drop me a line at linda.bussiere@lpl.london.on.ca. or call the branch at 519-660-4646.
