Good Reading!!!!

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to let you know about some really good books I have been reading. I am reading the book Plain Secrets: An Outsider Among the Amish by Joe Mackall. This book is about one of the strictest orders of the Amish religion, the Swartzentruber Amish. Dr. Mackall lives near this Amish community and has written this book to tell their story. This is a book for anyone that wants to look deeper into the Amish religion and to learn a lot of true facts about the Amish.

I have also been listening to the book Peter and the Starcatchers written by Dave Berry and read by Jim Dale. That's right all you Harry Potter fans!! This is the same reader for the audio books of the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. (To slip in another reminder, the 7th, final book of the Harry Potter series comes out July 21st!!! Amy has pre-ordered it so I know the NF library will have it) I love listening to him read! He gives all the characters different voices and characteristics. Thus, making the book come to life while you are listening to it. This is a good book for the kids to listen to or even read! Also, there is a second book in this series, Peter and the Shadow Thieves which is available in audio book form.

I must be signing off now but I have one more thing to announce. The Moose Lodge in Norwalk has donated some very nice books to the North Fairfield Library. They have allowed us to add to our YA collection and we should all thank them for that. So all you teens need to come check out our new books!!

Keep on reading!!
