So I was reading the Guiness World Record and I found that the tallest man still living is 7 feet 8 inches. This is the kind of information you could find out at a library like the Wadsworth Branch.

I love going to the library it is a nice place to sit back and read. This summer I am reading part 3 of the "Twilight Series: Eclipse" and I was so excited that the movie came out yesterday!! I am also reading "The Pigman" by Paul Zindel and so far it is interesting. And hopefully I will read many others before the summer ends.

Summer Reading Making Waves at your Library!

Our 2010 Summer Reading Kickoff was Tuesday June 15th . We had a fabulous Storyteller Mr. Malcolm and he was so good at engaging the kids in storytelling through active participation. Afterwards, we had ice cream sundaes for the kids. Our inspiring new ASL, Alyson Silverman and dedicated TLA's Jordan Brooks and Wesley Gilbert did a terrific job at keeping everything under control.

Hey i am a tla at Wadsworth Branch Library and today starts the second week of Summer Reading. Today at 1:30 was Game Board Day and we had 3 local camps come in. With our dedicated staff we kept everything well organized. We played scrabble slam, monopoly, pictureka, hangman and many more. I had a blast with the children. Im looking forward to tomorrow with the watching movie based on a book. Wadsworth is the best !

Webcomics Worth Reading

A lot of Wadsworth kids and teens, (and adults!), love checking out the library's great collection of graphic novels and comics.
Well, when you're in between print books, or just feel like looking at something different, did you know you can read lots of awesome comics on the internet?
Some have great artwork, some are more serious, some are simply made by attaching hilarious captions to clip art. ALL are absolutely free and can be browsed in the library or at home, in front of your computer. Don't forget, when you find some you like, click through the archive for hours of webcomic-viewing enjoyment!

Here are a links to a few good ones. Enjoy!:

Dinosaur Comics
Daisy Owl
The Abominable Charles Christopher
Rice Boy
Wondermark
The Adventures of Ellie Connelly
The Upside Down Me


(If you know of any others that you'd like to share, feel free to add a link and/or a review in the comments!)

March is Nation Save Your Vision Month

March is National "Save Your Vision" Month!
Without good vision, our ability to read, see, and learn about the world becomes difficult. Many vision problems begin when we are young, so it's very important to take good care of your eyes now. Untreated eye problems can get worse and lead to other serious problems as well as affect learning ability, personality, and success in school.

Some tips for maintaining healthy vision:

• Have a regular eye exam to make sure that your eyes are healthy and that you have the correct eyeglass or contact lens prescription (if necessary).
• When working at the computer or reading for a long time:
  
  • Rest your eyes
  • Remember to blink!
    
  • Use eye drops if your eyes feel dry

Sometimes our eyes can play tricks on us!
Check out these fun, visual illusions:
