Hello, Readers!

Have you finished reading at least three of the Maud Hart Lovelace nominees? If so, you are ready to vote! We hope to see you at this Saturday's book club meeting, where you can put your ballot in the voting box. If you can't make it, stop by the library sometime in March to place your vote.

Voting box, bookmark contest forms, and BOOKS at the Hamline Midway Library!

We are also having a bookmark design contest. Entry forms are available in the library, and you can enter as many times as you like! You can also print an entry form at home. Entries are due by Tuesday, March 15.

Remember, new book club members are always welcome.

Hope to see you on Saturday, March 5, 1:30-2:15 p.m., at the Hamline Midway Library!

Lots of Maud Hart Lovelace Award nominees...

...are waiting for you at the Hamline Midway Library. They are on display right now for you to check out and enjoy.  

See you soon at the library!
