Buffalo Woman by Paul Goble. There is a good hunter and one day when he wants to hunt a buffalo, he realizes that the buffalo is a woman. They get married and have a son. But they can not live together. I like the idea that people can transform into animals. The pictures are terrific. –Ruth (age 9)

Spy School Secret Service by Stuart Gibbs. devious plots, missiles, black mail, this book has everything. –Milo (age 8)

1) I like the sounds the loons make
2) I love the pictures
3) I like the descriptions of the different sounds the loons make

Thank you to the Rufus Porter Museum, our wonderful neighbors here on our cultural corner. They have put together some Creative Valentine To-Go bags, available in Youth Services while supplies last. Learn more about the history of the holiday and create your own special gift for a special someone.

Rufus Porter was an artist, musician, teacher, inventor, and founder of Scientific American magazine. He lived his life as a lifelong learner, something we really love here at the Library! So grab a To-Go bag, and maybe a book from our reading lists or non-fiction how-to collections.
