Mid-Columbia Libraries: ‘Haunted Library’ with Guest Author and Illustrator

On Tuesday, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jolie Taylor, the author of 'The Totally Not Boring Book of Feelings.'

Jolie was lovely to talk with and shared her 12-year-long vision of writing an exciting and interesting children's book.

Inspiring children's books help kids love to read

Her love for reading books was Inspired at an early age by her mother reading to her at night. The magic and intrigue of Harry Potter Books began her desire to someday write a book on her own.

Not-so-spooky events are fun for smaller children

Inspire your kids and grandkids to read! Dress up the kids and enjoy the event:

The kids can get their groove on with a glow-in-the-dark dance party.

Inspiring kids to read at an early age helps tremendously with their cognitive ability to learn and develop. It gives them a head start for school and continued education and learning.

Sometimes it's difficult to inspire kids to read. Meeting the Authors, getting a personal copy of a book, and enjoying a spooky Halloween event this Friday may be the beginning of your child's desire to read and learn.

Enjoy the event!
