The Summer Experiment & Cathie Pelletier
Today we had a field trip to Conway Public Library to hear Cathie Pelletier speak about her new children's book, The Summer Experiment. Set in her hometown of Allagash, Maine, the book, written for middle grades, tells the story of rural small town life, UFOs and a summer science fair competition. A successful author of books for adults, this is Cathie's first book for young people. She talked about her writing process, why she decided to write a book for children, and about an incident known as the Allagash Abductions in which four college students claimed to have been abducted by aliens when camping in 1976, an event which inspired the plot of The Summer Experiment. She read the first chapter of the book, took questions from the audience, and then signed copies. Brianna Desharnais gave her a letter she had written to her which described her appreciation for the book and the ways in which it moved her. The author plans to add the letter to her Facebook page and a photo of the two of them together. Fun time! Come borrow The Summer Experiment from the library!

Another fun Kindergarten visit January 9, 2014
The Freedom Elementary School kindergarteners sure love books. They found ones they were interested in right away and just poured over them. I'm so glad they come visit the library every three weeks. What great kids!

Twenty teens came to Teen Night this past week to make duct tape beach bags and see the awesome movie "Pitch Perfect." Many thanks to Tammy Majowicz who is helping with teen nights this year! Couldn't do it without you, Tammy!
