Book And Movie Reviews At The Gilmanton Corner Library


Summer reading is in full swing at the Gilmanton Corner Library. Children are wearing the Free animal masks while reading their favorite animal book. Young readers are filling up their Free book bags with mysteries and solving the Sudko, Word Search and Brain Teaser game book marks.


This year we are pleased to have Ayden (age 13) and Alec (age 12) Carpenter doing book and movie reviews for young readers.


EONA by Alison Goodman- “One of the best books we have ever read” Ayden and Alec.


SEEKERS by Erin Hunter- “The book was well written and I really like how the book was put together in sections” Ayden.


THE GREAT HAMPSTER MASSACRE by Katie Davies-“The book was mysterious but really fun to read. I suggest this book to young adult readers because it’s a great novel. Readers should buy it or check it out at the library. Awesome but heartbreaking” Ayden.


Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules -DVD-“The movie was hilarious to see the back and forth funny conflict between brothers. I recommend that kids around the age of 9 and up should watch it. Roderick Rules is better than the first movie” Ayden and Alec.


AVATAR- “The movie is an awesome action movie. It is about a man named Jake Sully who was in the Marines and went to a planet called Pandora. This planet had indigenous people called the Navrid. Overall this movie was one of the best I’ve seen” Ayden.


The Carpenter brothers are also doing story hour at 3:00 on Wednesdays if you moms would like to shop at the farmers market (Town Hall.) A librarian will be in attendance.
The quilt raffle is on going, $1.00/ticket or 6 tickets/$5.00; drawing Columbus Day weekend.


Plan a trip to one of three museums that we have Free passes to. Don’t forget to stop by the library and pick up your book log from TD Bank and receive $10 after you have read 10 books! Great way to read and save. Please call 267-6200 for more information. Have a GREAT summer!
