Just another day at the office 😂
.
Quick throwback to when we had Elephant & Piggie visit our library over the summer! I love my job for so many reasons, but being able to put on events like this is one of the biggest. This was such a fun time, and the kids absolutely LOVED meeting their favorite book characters in real life 💕
.
If you could meet any fictional character, who would you choose and why? 🤔

Lovely, funny, and thoughtful opinion piece by a cultural critic on the importance of reading and rereading picture books with his three-year-old son. Hint: they‘re gateway drugs to graphic novels and further reading #RaisingReaders #PictureBooks

I bought a Mo Willems treasury for her sister and she immediately grabbed it and started reading. ❤️

I told my daughter she needed to read 30min a day this summer to make sure she stays at her reading level. She was more than happy to. Then, later that day she sent me this. 😍💚

The kiddos‘ library is really coming along! This little room was just a playroom with toys when we moved in and it got almost no use. Now that we‘ve removed the toys & filled it with books, we have two very happy campers! (And two happy parents. 😁)

MicheleinPhilly That looks like a dream! Love it! 7y
LiteraryinPA I love the tiny comfy chairs! 7y
saresmoore @MicheleinPhilly Lucy, the librarian will be organizing alphabetically by genre and plans to utilize the Dewey Decimal System for the nonfiction section. 🤓 7y

saresmoore @LiteraryinLititz Me, too! They were Target finds. 7y
TrishB Looks brilliant ❤️ 7y
MicheleinPhilly OMG! My heart. ❤️ 7y
readordierachel I like the Shel Silverstein on display :) 7y
LeahBergen Gah! Look at how they have the sections labelled 😩😩 . I think they need little library cards and stamps! 7y
Cinfhen They have sections 😍😍😍😍soooo cute 7y
saresmoore @ReadOrDieRachel She has some of the poetry books up there. So far, it‘s just four Shel books and a book of fairy poetry. 😂 7y
saresmoore @LeahBergen That‘s such a great idea! 7y
saresmoore @TrishB @TobeyTheScavengerMonk I had no idea how much they would appreciate a personal library, but they are loving it! 7y
vivastory This is incredible! 7y
MaureenMc 😍🤩 7y
emilyhaldi Love it! 7y
saresmoore @vivastory I haven‘t even started on my library, yet! 😁 7y
Mdargusch Too fun! 7y
Moray_Reads This picture makes me so happy (and jealous!) 7y
saresmoore @Moray_Reads I‘m a bit envious, too. Most of my books are still boxed up and waiting. Sometimes, if I listen intently, I can hear them sobbing quietly amongst themselves. 😢📚 7y

I always love reading #ElephantandPiggie as a #ReadOutLoud for my class! Last year it was Gr. 1 and this year, it‘s Gr. 3. Even thought it‘s pretty simple language, my students still dig it. These guys and that darn Pigeon are all ok my me!

Q84 My daughter loves reading these! She loves MO Willems! 7y
tonyahoswalt When I was still in teen services at my library, our children's librarian and I would read these stories out loud at her storytimes. She was very much Piggie, I was very much Gerald. Love those books! 7y
Peddler410 My third grader daughter still lives Gerald and Piggie! We have half of the books in our home library — I might end up getting the rest some day, we love them that much! 7y
CarlyQuinn @Peddler410 if you are from Canada, check #scholastic. They often have set deals. I got this one at Costco though. 7y
Peddler410 Not from Canada. Not a Scholastic fan. 7y
CarlyQuinn @Peddler410 on that‘s too bad. They don‘t have crazy variety, but I like them aside from that. 7y

Whispering and cutting ensued, and the next thing I heard was "Oink, oink, oinky-oink-oink," as Ellie-Piggie trotted through the house. ? 7y

This little one has had a tough time translating her auditory learning style into confident reading. I've been working with her for more than three years and now, watching her eyes light up at the sight of a new book and then listening to her read aloud just fills my heart right up!

She has special voices for Gerald and Piggie. ☺️ We really like Mo Willems around here.

Yournewfriendsams Yay, love those lightbulb moments ❤Also, love elephant and piggie. They're some, in a handful of kiddie books, that are truly enjoyable and funny for grown-ups...imo ☺ 7y
GypsyKat I bought some of those books for my cousin'a son this past Christmas, he loved them! 7y
saresmoore @Yournewfriendsams In "I Really Like Slop", Piggie says, "You know how I get that old shoe taste? ... Old shoes!" 7y

tpixie Adorable!! I've got 4 dyslexic ( grown) children. So thankful you have been able to work with your daughter at such a young age!!! 7y
saresmoore @Suet624 Thank you! 😘 It gives me a bit more confidence for public school. *deep breaths* 7y
saresmoore @Hobbinol @Jaimelire @LeahBergen Listening to her sound out "because" phonetically is one of the most adorable (and silly) things ever! 7y
saresmoore @tpixie You are a good mama! She loves audiobooks and learns from them phenomenally (she told me she learned the word comeuppance yesterday...and gave a good definition!), but there is still something special about watching her work out words in print. 7y
tpixie @saresmoore yes! So amazing!! 7y
