Storyline Online
Dear Parents,
Do you feel like sometimes you just don't have the time to read that extra story to your child? Doyou wish tv wasn't the only option for keeping your little ones occupied while you take care of important tasks? I just wanted to share this great site that I recently discovered: Storyline Online, brought to you by the Screen Actors Guild Foundation. On it, celebrities such as James Earl Jones, Al Gore, and Elijah Wood, among many others, read picture books aloud. All you need is a strong internet connection. It's a really neat service and a great place for your kids to spend a few moments while you're, say, doing the dishes, or getting dinner ready. Take a few minutes to explore all the titles they have to offer.
I also wanted to remind you about The Morgantown Public Library's resource for audiobooks online, WVDELI. We have hundreds of children's book titles online, ready for you to download to your home computer 24 hours a day. You can transfer them to your MP3 player (and in some instances, burn them to a CD to keep for good) to listen to in the car, or wherever. We really hope this service helps you get your daily tasks completed while also providing literacy-based, educational entertainment for your kids.

Theme for Dec. 2: Jan Brett!
I am sure that all of you have explored the world of children's author and illustrator Jan Brett. She is one of the most talented people in the book industry today. Many of her books are centered around one of our favorite seasons: winter! She is pictured here at the arctic circle. We will focus heavily on her beautiful winter-time books for the majority of December. We might even get a visit from a very special friend of Jan Brett's in the coming weeks.
This Wednesday, Dec. 2, I will introduce our Jan Brett block with some of her most famous works.
Join us for this wintry story time!

Also, remember to join us at the downtown branch (373 Spruce Street, Morgantown) on Saturday, Dec. 5 from 11am-1pm for a very special Jan Brett event. We have more than 20 crafts, snacks, games and activities planned for kids of all ages. It is sure to be fun. There is a parking lot and garage located across the street.

Nov. 11 Theme: In November
Have you seen this book?
In November by Cynthia Rylant
It is one of the most beautifully written and illustrated books I have come across lately. It is so lovely that I am devoting a whole story time to enjoying the gifts it gives each reader. It isn't a loud book. It isn't boisterous. It doesn't do anything except remind us why November is such a special month. But it does so with such quiet and thoughtful poetry.
Cynthia Rylant is one of the best children's authors of our time and she happens to be from West Virginia. I am so happy to get the chance to share her books with you this Wednesday, Nov. 11. We will also look at at least one more of her books and create art masterpieces using one of autumn's natural splendors: the apple!
Join us!
