Welcome to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Children's Room!

Ms. Clara Webber was the first children's librarian of Pomona Public Library. A long time correspondent with Mrs. Laura Ingalls Wilder, she was instrumental in having the Children's Room named in honor of Mrs. Wilder on May 25, 1950. Today, we house the original hand written manuscript for the novel Little Town on the Prairie. Every February, we host the Laura Ingalls Wilder Sociable in honor of Mrs. Wilder's February 7th birthday.

Happy day, young Pomonans. I found this picture on flickr. Wouldn't it be great to study in a place like this? I loved all the Harry Potter books. It has been fun discussing them with you all. I really wish we had more to look forward to.

Joke of the day:
First cow: Moo
2nd cow: Baa
First cow: What do you mean, Baa?
2nd cow: Oh, I'm learning a foreign language. :)

Harry Potter Display at PPL




The holiday season is over and I couldn't wait to display my Harry Potter collection. They have been in the back office and it's nice to get them out. In the collection I have several collector's editions as well as a whole set of the seven books that come in a case. The newest addition is the "Tales of the Beetle Bard" which just came out in December. It is the smallest of the books that has a very ornate cover. Then there are Harry dolls and a Ron doll and two different Hedwigs! Thank you to Kate Roecker (adult reference librarian) who owns one of the Hedwigs for letting me display it with the others.

So come on in and see it! Just remember that these items are privately owned and cannot be checked out! :)

Joke of the day: What did the football coach yell when the telephone didn't return his money?
Answer: "Hey! I want my quarter back!" :)

Dumbledore and Harry

Isn't this great? Harry looks pretty good but Dumbledore? I don't want to seem picky but isn't he dead? I guess for a dead guy he looks pretty good. I found this picture on flickr under "Christmas, shopping, and children." I guess they did this for a holiday event.

It is really strange to be here on a Monday and not have any weekly activities to report. The truth is we are only here today and tomorrow and have a five day weekend. Not bad!

Tomorrow is going to be terrible for me because there is no story time. If you have time during your day please come in and cheer me up. I really can't stand it when we don't have story time.

Joke of the day: Why did Santa Claus take his Christmas tree to the dentist?
Answer: To get a root canal! :)
