I was very happy. I had found the corner that Spring was around. Frog and Toad All Year by Arnold Lobel
Today is a brisk, windy, blue sky kind of day; tomorrow may be a dull, gray, rainy kind of day, but could we expect anything else from this most unpredictable month of March? At least with Daylight Savings Time being moved up to March 8th, the days will be lighter, and somehow warm breezes, and shirt-sleeve days won't seem that far away. This is such a great month to grab a good book, and read during these days that border between winter and spring. Find a quiet corner, preferably one with a window so that the sun (when out) will make you feel warm and toasty inside, sip a cup of herbal tea, and relax for just a wee bit of time. There is no better medicine for the winter blahs, to get lost in the pages of a really good read - trust me!

Check out the wonderful authors, and illustrators that celebrate their birthdays this month. Theodore Geisel aka. Dr. Seuss (March 2nd), Patricia MacLachlan (March 3rd), Dav Pilkey (March 4th), Mem Fox (March 5th), Ezra Jack Keats (March 11th), Virginia Hamilton (March 12th), Ellen Raskin (March 13th), Sid Fleischman (March 16th), Lois Lowry, Louis Sachar, and Bill Martin, Jr. all share the same birth date on March 20th, Robert Frost (March 26th), Dick King-Smith (March 27th), and Anna Sewell (March 30th). If your child shares their special day with one of these talented authors, why not go to the library to check out some of their books, and then go online to research their life. Who knows, you may have a budding author right before your eyes!

Until next time, may the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, and may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
Happy St. Patrick's Day from our Library! Mrs. Karen Sanders, Librarian |
| My name is Karen
Sanders and I have been at Immaculate Heart of Mary School for many years
both as Librarian and 2nd Grade Teaching Assistant. It is a job that keeps
me very busy, but one that I love. Reading has always been a source of
great joy to me. Open a book and it can transport you in time, space, or
anywhere in the world. Reading stimulates the imagination, the
creativity, and the emotions of the reader. I consider it a privilege to
be able to help the student find that one certain book that ignites the
spark of reading - one that will last a lifetime.
My husband and I are members of the Parish, and our two sons both graduated from IHM. We have two pets, both rescued greyhounds. They make wonderful pets, and are great with kids-just ask mine! |
