Every year, the American Library Association and libraries throughout the nation celebrate National Library Week in April. This year, National Library Week will be held\u00a0 April 7th-13th and the theme this year is “Ready, Set, Library!”. To celebrate with your young people about the importance of books and libraries, I have compiled some fun reads!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Stanley\u2019s Library by William Bee<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>No T. Rex in the Library by Toni Buzzeo and illustrated by Sachiko Yoshikawa\u00a0<\/a>
\nIt is Tuesday morning and Tess is out of control in the library. Mama tells Tess that “bestie behavior is not allowed in the library.” While taking some “quiet time”, Tess knocks over a book cart and out pops a rather rambunctious T. Rex.

Once she discovers a magic place full of books, she simply must get in! After sneaking into the Library, a child find Clarisse and reads her story to her. The keeper of the books finds Clarisse and offers her a chance of a lifetime. This is such a beautiful and sweet story!<\/p>\n
