Who Picked This Book? Book CLUB!!!!

Our friend Taneasha suggested this book and she is so completely right. Taneasha is at Brown summer school, which makes her crazy with homework, but is so worth it.

This is truly a great book, because Sherman Alexie, who knows a lot about American Indian reservation life, and is a good poet and short story writer, tells a story that is a triumph for any kid who ever felt like if you were playing dodgeball, the dodgeball would hit you in the head. Which, didn't happen to me, but it was like that.

So that's our "Who Picked This Book Club?" book. Check in soon for our other recommendations.

Congratulations PCL!

Washington Park celebrated Providence Community
Library's very successful 1st year
with cake, and compliment eggs.
A compliment egg is a left-over plastic easter egg
which has been stuffed with a compliment such as
"You're really smart!" or "I love your shoes" or
"The Incredible Hulk is scared of you."
