<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Just thought I would write a little "blurb" about<u> <span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: orange;">Sunset Storytime</span> </span></u>to encourage you to come and join us. Yes, it is later in the evening and yes, it does mention older children and yes, it does say <i>Family.</i> Well , it is ALL that! We are hoping to provide a time in the evenings when the kids who work hard in school all day can join with their younger siblings and Mom, Dad, Grandma or whoever to relax and enjoy books, stories, songs etc. It is a combination of lots of fun things . Sometimes we'll read picture books, sometimes a chapter out of a book or we might look at some non-fiction books that are super cool! Of course, there will be music. We'll also do some storytelling that will be fun, especially when Halloween gets closer!</span></span></span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is my first time at blogging so I hope I can keep you interested and tuning in. Here goes....</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My name is Kathy Hall and I have worked at Morrison-Reeves library for approximately two months. I have actually been coming here and reveling in books ALL of my life!!! I was born and raised in Richmond and attended school here . I'm a wife (for almost 32 years), mother of two sons (21 and 14) and five fur babies (two cats and three dogs) and I'm a teacher by education although I've done all kinds of work. I don't want to be boring and just list my interests ...I have so many and since I am probably adult ADHD, I tend to spring back and forth among them like a bouncing ball. Maybe what I'll do is talk to you about my loves a little at a time as I encourage you to enjoy , use and learn from our wonderful library. </span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As you can already guess, I am a huge reader and lover of books. I was lucky enough to have a mother who gave me the go-ahead to try reading anything even if it was too old for me (but appropriate of course). I remember attempting <u>Jane Eyre</u> by Charlotte Bronte multiple times until I "came of age" and could understand. It is now one of my all-time favorite books. What is important about that is that my mother urged me to set my bar higher...to attempt something that was a challenge and to not feel discouraged if I wasn't immediately successful. So go ahead, try a chapter book that you saw a friend reading or that has a cool cover and even if you have trouble with it, you will have learned some new words or entered a new world that you can return to. Or give a series a try and have fun encountering some descriptive phrases that may create a more detailed picture in your mind! If we were always successful the first time or already knew everything, the world wouldn't be full of things to look forward to. So my advice for this week is try something you've never read or you think might be a little hard for you. It feels good to flex your reading muscles. </span></div>

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'll see you all next week here at "Let's Learn about reading with Miss Kathy" and be sure to come into the library say hi to me! Have a great week!</span></div>
