Neat Happening @ Denver Library This Weekend!!

Cereal Saturday:

 Pilot Project Saturday, October 3, 8 a.m.-noon.
Central Library, Level B2 Conference Center 

 Calling all kids! And that means all grown up kids, too, who love watching Saturday morning cartoons while devouring a big bowl of cereal. Denver Public Library is hosting this tribute to the days of ‘yore’ youth – we’ll be screening great cartoons from the 60’s right up through to the new millennium. Lots of fun retro stuff. And we’ll serve it up with a cereal bar of fun, nostalgic cereals – and healthy choices, too! But it gets even better for the real kiddos in the audience.

Have homework that you need help with? Working on a project for school that is lacking good resource materials? Our reference librarians will be on hand to help with any homework or research project needs you have for school.

So, yes, Moms and Dads – you are reading that right. Bring the kids and their research needs, and while you are feasting on Count Chocula and watching The Pink Panther, your mini-me can get some research assistance.

This Saturday event is a test run and may return in the future! Free and open to the public.

Yes, Don't Stay Up Late. In Fact ... Go To Bed Early.

NOT impressed with R.L. Stine's Don't Stay Up Late.  Not at all.

I've read a variety of Stine's works through the years.  Some are scarier than others and some are a bit on the weird side, but this novel?  This novel was all mixed up!  Over-protective parents = fatal car crash = hallucinations = monsters = no, not really monsters = yes, monsters = friendships questioned = murders = who is the monster?  I thought "so-and-such" was = confusion ... YES, CONFUSION!!!  On the part of the reader!  What in the world is going on???

I will admit, at one point I decided to stop reading.  Instead I moved to skimming through the pages.  Then, skimming became even too much for me and I moved to glancing here and there and then reading the last pages as a follow-up.

My "official" recommendation?  Try one of R.L. Stine's other books.  He does have many good ones out there.  I promise.  

It's Almost Here!!

I cannot believe how close we are to the beginning of the school year!  Yikes!!  At least all of you still have a week and a half to sleep in, hit the pools, or take in an afternoon movie.  Skinner staff officially returns this THURSDAY!!!

That being said, I have just downloaded a whole bunch of books to read and (hopefully) review before your year actually starts!  Here they are ...

 

     

  By the way ... have you seen the preview for the upcoming R.L.Stine movie????  Looks creepy and a bit funny.
