I hope everyone has been enjoying this beautiful October weather we’ve been having! In honor of the season we’ve put together a collection of great fall and harvest seasons books to share. Come check it out~
Also, this Saturday at 10:00 everyone is invited to our family story time and join in on a festive apple stamping craft. See you there!
In this new bold and colorful story, the narrator sets out to prove that there is nothing like a puffin but discovers that many things, including a newspaper and a helicopter, are a little bit like one and that a penguin is very much like a puffin.

WINNER OF THE 2011 ELIZABETH BURR/WORZALLA AWARD
Every year, the Children’s Book Award Committee of the Wisconsin Library Association’s Youth Services Section annually awards the Burr/Worzalla to the most distinguished work in literature for children written and/or illustrated by a Wisconsin book creator.
This year’s award goes to native Wisconsite Dori Chaconas’ Cork & Fuzz: The Babysitters. Here’s a quick summary:
When Cork and Fuzz agree to babysit a young porcupine, Cork ends up doing most of the work, and when Fuzz gets into some trouble, it is up to both Cork and the baby to come to his assistance.
