Dora just returned from the ALA conference in Washington loaded down with goodies for all patrons, including a fantastic collection for our young readers.

For our readers in grades 2 – 5 we now have the “Carol Marsh Mysteries”.  Carol Marsh uses real kids, set  in historical sites and add fun adventures.  One set of books visit sites around the United States and a second set takes readers all around the world.

Carol Marsh also has books for our beginner readers.  The first set “Criss Cross Applesauce” has three friends (Leah Criss 7, Sara Cross 8 and Aimee Applesauce 9) who have set up a detective agency.  Join them in their adventures.  Of course if our young men feel these are just for the girls, we have another set by Carol that might appeal more to them, “Three Amigos”.  This time it is 3 boys (Weng-Ho 7, Grant 8 and Seve 9). These 3 are mischievous, charming boys who become and stay  best buddies by reaching out to others and keeping an open mind.
