THE STORY COLLECTORS

THE STORY COLLECTORS by Kristin O'Donnell Tubb

First, I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day. Whether you were surrounded by friends, family, or just enjoying some quiet time by yourself, I hope it was soul-filling before you returned to normal life!

Second, the book I get to share with you today is fantastic! It is a part of Sonlight's Summer Readers collection, and it is a great adventure!

For all of you who love the idea of being locked in a library how about one step better and live in a library? The Story Collector by Kristin O'Donnell Tubb is set in The New York Public Library and is inspired by true events. Viviani Fedeler is the daughter of the library superintendent, and her family actually lives in the library in an eight-room apartment. When some crazy things start to happen and some precious display items are stolen, Viviani begins to wonder if the stories about the library's ghost are true. This book has lots of fun action and great messages about what it means to be a good friend.

Alongside Activity- Each chapter is named by a Dewey Decimal Series category with its accompanying number. Head to the library and get some hands on practice using the DDS by locating some of the chapter names/numbers on your own library shelves. Look through a few titles in the category and see if there are any you want to select to bring home.
