Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library: Thanks for being "game" to play

Clue:  Most sparsely populated country in Europe: Retain 1st letter + "S" =   ___    ____

Congratulations to the Masonville Mother Daughter Book Club on solving the anagrams and puzzles and hunting through all the Dewey Decimals to find books with clue cards!  The solution was:

Your library is the key to open your eyes to the world!  Thanks to Mica for solving the extra puzzle contained in the book  -- an anagram using the first letters of each chapter! 

We had a great time discussing Chris Grabenstein's book Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library.  We talked about libraries of the future -- and what other libraries are doing in other cities across the world.  iPads tethered to a table in the Children's area, loaded with literacy apps and games, libraries with green screens for making your own movie or music video -- instruments, recording software.  It's all coming faster than we think!

We voted between two AMAZING 2015 Red Maple Nominees -- Kenneth Oppel's The Boundless and Caroline Pignat's Unspeakable.  Both have compelling stories and of course despite Unspeakable getting all the votes, many of you took along a copy of The Boundless as well!

For those of you interested in the London Youth Advisory Council, nominations are being accepted until March   ,campaigning starts April 11, and voting is May 3 - 8th.  You must be 15-25 to stand as a Youth Councillor, and 13-25 years to vote!  Check out the website for details: http://www.lyac.ca/

Look forward to seeing you all in March -- we're meeting Wed. March 25 instead of during March Break.  7 - 8:30 pm, the usual time, in the usual place.

See you then!
