January is such a big month for resolutions--all the things that will make life better for ourselves and others--and waiting to see what the new year will bring. Here in Southeast Wisconsin we have been waiting for Winter in Wisconsin to finally arrive. Friday the 13th came and we have 6 inches of fresh (and our first) snow on the ground. At the library we are also waiting for the American Library Association's Mid-Winter Conference to announce the Award winners for 2011 -- the Newbery, Caldecott, Coretta Scott King and others.
Meanwhile, we are reading Winter books. Kellogg's "the Missing Mitten Mystery," Plourde's "Mountains of Mittens," and George's "Who's been here in the Snow?," are among our favorites. We've read some Robert Munsch and remembered how much fun "50 Degrees Below" can be. My Resolution-- Turn off the TV and spend more time Reading! Watch for the Award winners--I will post them as soon as they are announced!
