Pizza Night Discussion

We had a great time tonight at the Pizza night! We made snowflakes to decorate the library and Mrs. Palmer talked about some of the library's new books. Then the group talked about their favorite books.

Here are some of the recommendations from the group if you are looking for something cool to read. Many of the following are series, so there is more than one book to read. You can search the library catalog for the books here: http://charlotte.delco.lib.pa.us/search Remember if the book you want to read is already checked out, you can ask the library staff to place a hold on the book for you. You can review the library's hold policy here: http://charlotte.delco.lib.pa.us/screens/policies.html.

The Beatrice letters by Lemony Snicket ; illustrated by Brett Helquist
Clue (Scholastic Inc.) by Marie Jacks or Eric Weiner
Diary of a wimpy kid : Greg Heffley's journal by Jeff Kinney.

The Hardy Boys by Franklin W. Dixon
Joey Pigza books by Jack Gantos
