Hey Guys! So it's February and love is in the air. Well, for some. Our poor skeleton has been waiting a long time for someone to love him again. Folks just look at him and pass on by. That, unfortunately, is what happens sometimes to old things. They get forgotten. They do not get used. They feel unloved. Everybody say, AWE.
But seriously, it does happen. Sometimes to people and sometimes to books. Sure, everyone wants to read the newest and hottest book titles that are out there. But, what about those older books. You know, the ones librarians call the classics, in hushed reverent voices. Those books are good, too. Just a little unloved.
So this month, Library Lover's Month, challenge yourself to read at least one old book. Think, Old Yeller by Fred Gipson if you need a good cry or The Black Stallion by Walter Farley if you like horses. Pick up a Curious George book and relive your childhood. Solve a mystery with the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew. Explore your tough side with The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. The possibilities are endless.
Need a little incentive. Download the Beanstack app and sign up for the Library Lover's Challenge. Read ONE Book and log it on the app before March 1st and you could win a $25 Walmart gift card. Too easy. So get to your local library, find an old book that needs some love, read it, log it, and maybe you will win. Even if you don't, that old book does.
Now, what to do about our skeleton friend?
