Idaho Commission for Libraries
The Community Library actively promotes the Young Readers Choice Awards books and has a voting booth each spring. In fact, Lisa makes it a point to try to read all the books on the current awards list. At the moment she’s reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Every holiday the Community Library puts up different decorations and holds a related activity or party. Two fun activities scheduled for this Halloween were a Teen Murder Mystery Dinner Party with approximately 16 attendees and a youth Halloween party with games, crafts, music, costumes, and, of course, tricks and treats.ഊLisa is a little nonplussed, however, when asked what her current favorite children’s books are and why. “My range of books is so vast and my favorite changes with my mood, so it is impossible to name one book or author,” she answers. She then adds, “I had a hard time learning to read and my parents let me read whatever I wanted, so I read romance novels. I also read the Babysitter Club books and the Wrinkle in Time series. I loved Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry by Mildred Taylor and Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson.” When not actively creating outstanding young adult and children’s activities, Lisa spends time with her friends and family and loves to swim, read, knit, and watch movies.
