James Patterson has long been known for his books for adults. He's a prolific and popular author.
Now, James Patterson has a website 'dedicated to making kids readers for life." What started out as a project to encourage his child to read, is expanded now as a source for reading information for parents, teachers and librarians.
ReadKiddoRead provides information on good books grouped by ages. Books are suggested, a synopsis given, and other books with similar themes are listed. Also included are reading guides, tips to encourage reading, and a section aimed at getting boys to read.

Picturing America
Now that Emily Taber Public Library has opened their new addition, they have a nice display space for new books.
The first display is their Picturing America collection, books that reflect our American history and culture.

The theme of this year’s bookshelf is Picturing America. These books were chosen to further the study and understanding of American history and culture.
Some of the titles included are: The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, The Birchbark House, The Captain’s Dog: My Journey with the Lewis and Clark Tribe; Harvesting Hope: The Story of Cesar Chavez (in both English and Spanish), Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation, Democracy in America , and 1776: The Illustrated Edition.
The collection is on display now at the library and all books are available for checkout.
