Today I started "The Sewing Machine" by Natalie Fergie. It is a story spanning four generations

Happy Birthday Dr Seuss!

Today is Dr Seuss's 110th Birthday. Theodor Seuss Geisel wrote 46 wonderful children's stories that have inspired imaginations for generations. His stories have spawned cartoons, movies, amusement park rides and a Broadway musical.  

To celebrate Dr Seuss's birthday and inspire reading libraries and schools across the nation will be participating in Read Across America. The Roxbury Library held their event yesterday. County Freeholder Kathy DeFillipo and Robury Councilman Marty Schmidt read "Cat in a Hat" to the 100 kids and parents that attended the program. 

Presley & Melody rocked the house with an interactive music and video party. The kids had a great time singing and dancing. 

Everyone has their favorite Dr Seuss story. I still have Hop on Pop in my library, what is your favorite?

Overdrive is going all MP3 for Audiobooks

I wonder how Amazon via its audible.com is going to respond to Overdrive's announcement to do away with DRM audiobooks. Cory Doctrow has written an interesting piece on the latest win for audiobook listeners. I hope in the long run this will result in a decrease in audio production costs so that more books can be recorded.
