On their way out of the library one reader stopped dead in their tracks and said "Whoa! Mrs. Funke, what happened in here? I just realized this but, their are no books on these shelves, it looks crazy! Maybe the Snatchabook has been here for real!" (Now, let me preface with, if you have not read the amazing book The Snatchabook...you must! Adorable, uplifting, and empowering for readers!) This reader stole my heart today. Not only was he so flabbergasted that our books were gone but that his focus on his own reading life really led him to missing the fact that our shelves truly are bare. This is a fabulous time of the year, Spring Break. The shelves are bare, with the hope that readers are living the life of stories, fantasies, characters, and adventures while they are away! The shelves are bare the their minds are full...that is what reading is all about and I love that I get to share these books with our readers at Lincoln! :)
