Summer Reading
Now introducing: Blue Marble Summer Reading!
Come in and pick up one of our summer reading bookmarks and a chapter book! Each little marble on the bookmark represents one book. Once all 10 are punched through, your reader wins a FREE book! We will keep track of the books read/bought by hole punching the summer reading bookmark so make sure not to lose it! This summer reading challenge is open to 1st graders and up!

Christmas
by Erica Kruse
It’s Christmas
Its 12:30
And the cinemas closed.
I don’t know how long it’s been closed,
Maybe forever.
there’s not even much left to believe in
But the big tree in the main hall is still wonderful,
And the hot chocolates still always too warm,
I can feel it in the pit of my stomach
And you’re smiling
Its 10 degrees and you’re smiling
An almost sickening smile and I can’t stop staring
“what are you thinking about?” she asks
“nothing” I respond
But I’m thinking about everything,
How nice it is to be here,
With you,
Red coat and matching blush
Candy canes lining the train tracks
And a sense of a good year welling in my eyes
snow is falling,
it’s sticking to my red scarf like a children’s illustration
and I’m left to think
to ponder,
are there still good people in the world?
