Happy New Year! It's been an exciting year at the Richfield Library in the Children & Teen Library - we've fully remodeled the basement, installed a handicapped ramp to the lower floor, and added lots of books.
As a librarian, I've been thrilled that patrons of all ages enjoy some of the children's and teen books we've been buying. I'll be adding descriptions of some of the books I've enjoyed reading to this blog so folks can consider them.

The first book I'd like to recommend for this year is Katie Coomb's "The Runaway Princess". If you liked the Newberry prize winning Kate Dicamillo's The Tale of Desperaux: A Tale of a Mouse, A Princess, Some Soup, and A Spool of Thread a few years ago, I think you'll enjoy the plucky princess and her friends in this fast paced fairy tale. A great read aloud!
For those of you who have enjoyed Lois Lowry (The Giver, The Messenger, etc), I would recommend Sharon Shin's new trio -- The Safekeeper's Daughter, The Truthteller's Tale and Dream-Maker's Magic. Set mostly in small village life with a degree of small magics, they explore human ethics with memorable characters.
Now back to reading, so I can tell you about the latest additions to our library!
