The Ministry of Antiquities just announced that they might have identified the mummy of Queen Hapshepsut, one of the most mysterious rulers of Ancient Egypt. Read the article here.

Today would be a great day to check out books on Ancient Egypt or Mummies.

It's true that everything old becomes news again!

I've got a a clue do you?

Welcome to our Summer Reading Program 2007 Blog.

We're going to use this space to let you know about some things we're doing, and some things you can do. You might even get to be a podcast star and tell us what you think about books you're reading.

Get a Clue @ Your Library. So that's the theme. What exactly does that mean?

Whatever you want it to. Read some mysteries. Read about something mythical or mysterious. Read about how the police solve crimes or how spies go about their business. Aliens, dinosaurs, lost civilizations. They're all good.

Come on in, grab a Bingo sheet, get some prizes, do a craft, go on a story walk or gee, even read a book or two.

Oh, and keep watching this space.
