Picture Book Month Display

November is my favourite Library month of the year!!  It's Picture Book Month!  For me, picture books are just magical.  So many stories, with all the beautiful illustrations that make the whole thing come to life - and all the layers within the stories and pictures.  Picture Books are never truly just for kids - they are SO much more than that. 

There is a display up in the Library with book covers from some of our staff and students favourite Picture Books  - and I have made and  attached a QR Code to all the ones I could -which should take you to a YouTube clip of the story being read. 

 Give it a try - it's a good way to get into the magic of QR  Codes - another one of my passions!  They can be used for SO much amazing stuff. 

Never underestimate the power of Picture Books - they are personal as well as universal. And they are very, very important - no matter how grown up you may think you are. You should never get so old that you don't read Picture books - that would just be too sad!

Have a wonderful weekend and take time to read!  And .. if anyone was counting, which I'm sure you're not .. 4 weeks to the end of term!

Life is only travelled once - today's moment becomes tomorrow's memory.

Enjoy every moment!
