World Book Night

The Kinkeade Library celebrated World Book Night during Family Night @ the Library on Thursday, April 25th.

Mrs. Betts was away at the Texas Library Association Conference in Fort Worth, but the library was in excellent hands with Mr. and Mrs. Ashworth and Mrs. Baker. FREE books were given to all and not only included titles from World Book Night.org, but also from some great publishers, ABDO, Capstone, and Scholastic.

The official event day for World Book Night was Tuesday, April 23rd. The purpose of this celebration is to spread the love of reading, person to person. This year the book we gave away was Lisa Scottoline's Look Again.

I love Lisa Scottoline's writing. I have read a number of her books, but this one, as a mother, really touched me. Most people get chills just by reading the single question on the front cover of the book, "What would you do if the face in a missing child photo was your son?" This is the story of an adoptive mother who comes home to find a white card with a missing child's photo. The picture has a striking resemblance to her young son. The story tells how this mother takes on the challenge of finding out the truth about her son's life and to see if this child truly is the missing child on the card. 

If you were not able to get a copy of this great book during World Book Night, check the public library or local book book store. I highly recommend this great book.
