Remember that this Thursday, Feb. 26th, author Geoff Herbach will be visiting the Marshall - Lyon County Library beginning at 6:00 pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet and talk with an outstanding author of young adult literature. This visit might just inspire the next great author!
New Seuss book set for release this summer! Put this one on your reading list for young, and old alike! "What Pet Should I Get?" will be released in July of 2015. Remember that the late Dr. Seuss' birthday is fast approaching, Monday, March 2nd.
Remember to make it a point to read books that your child, young or old, is reading. This affords you a wonderful opportunity to make connections with him/her about the things that are important in his/her life. The article, "My Booklist Can Wait: Why I'll Keep Reading What My Kids Are Reading" describes how one mom's experience changed her relationship with her children.

While reading the article 2
Live Crew, Weird Al Yankovic, and the Supreme Court on Parody I think about
MAD Magazine from when I was young as well as the years of entertainment with
Saturday Night Live. Two most important aspects of this article to keep
in mind is the first sentence under the heading Use that clearly is not fair
stating, “One action under any test is using an entire original work in the
creation of another,” and the final paragraph under the heading The Limits
of the Law. How might parodies or satires be used in the
classroom? This is a great way to integrate creativity and
learning.
