There can be only one
It's time for March Madness!
Not that kind of March Madness. Well, sort of. It's time for Battle of the Kids' Books 2012. The idea is based on the basketball tourney, but instead pits one Kids/YA book against another. A judge (Kid/Teen authors) looks at each match up and sends one to the next round. The survivors find themselves pitted against a book risen from the grave in the final battle on April 2nd.
Who thought up this brilliant battle? School Library Journal. In it's 4th year, this book melee always proves interesting.
Three contenders have already fallen. Anya's Ghost, Bootleg and The Cheshire Cheese Cat already are gone to the graveyard. Will one of them return? Only time will tell.
How about the winners? Do Amelia Lost, Between Shades of Gray or Chime have the staying power to make it to the end? Return and find out. Or visit the YA section at the Henry Ford Centennial Library and see the brackets posted on the wall.
In the meantime, check out the books from the Dearborn Public Library and judge for yourself.
Which book is the baddest?

2nd Annual Stuffed Animal Sleepover
The stuffed animals were at it again last night in the library!
Thirteen stuffed animals spent the night in the library! First we tucked them into bed.
Then we said goodnight. Did the animals sleep, though?
They had such a fun time and want to thank you for letting them spend the night!
