Today, we talked to Joan Emmert, manager of InfoZone Brand Library here at the museum.
Don't forget to keep shopping at the online Scholastic Book Fair throughout March. Each book purchased earns us points that will go toward buying new books for the kid's in our community. Last year we were able to provide more than 300 new books!

As a young child I could always be found in the mystery section of our local library. I would check out stacks of Nancy Drew and the Boxcar Children series. I loved being outdoors and my books would go with me so that I could read and then act out all the scenes from the books. Part of being outside meant that I spent time with animals, spiders, and worms! When I was given a copy of Charlotte’s Web it immediately became my all-time favorite book. Although I’ve added several more favorites to my collection of books, I still like to recommend Charlotte’s Web to young readers.
