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!
