NEWS FLASH 

  • For fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, the author, Jeff Kinney, is about to publish a twist on this very popular series. Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson’s Journal, out April 9th, features Greg Heffley’s best friend, Rowley Jefferson, writing about his pal’s adventures. Watch for a new book in the Fall, as the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series adds book 14! Keep an eye on Scout’s Corner for updates!
  • The author of Big Nate, Lincoln Peirce, just published a new book, Max and the Midknights, an adventure story set in the Middle Ages. This book, released in January, is quite different from the stories about Nate.

MY FAVORITE THINGS
Are YOU ready for Spring?  I think I have had enough of ol’ man Winter and I am ready to get outdoors.  Do you have a seed library in your town?  A seed library is where you can get seeds for free that you can plant and watch them grow.  You check them out just like you check out a book, but you don’t have to return them!  Hundreds of libraries across the country offer this service as a way to educate people about the plants specific to their area.  Check out if your library offers free seeds, and if not, see if you can get a seed library started.
