Picture
The Red Clover Award Program for Home Schooling Families with children in grades K-4 will take place on Tuesdays 1:00-2:00 January 11th through April 6th.  

Each week, we'll explore one of the 10 books on the Red Clover list, ending with a party and a vote for your favorite book.  We will submit our votes to be counted along with those from other children in the state and find out which book Vermont Children have chosen to win the 2011 Red Clover Award!

Sessions will include hands-on activities, thoughtful learning experiences and discussion based on
                                                                   Vermont Framework of Standards.

It is not necessary to attend every session, but registration is appreciated. 
We will skip a week on March 2nd, as the Lanpher Library is closed that day for Town Meeting. 
Please call, or stop by the Lanpher Library to register 888-4628, and check out the Vermont Center for the Book website to learn more about the Red Clover Award Program:  www.mothergooseprograms.org

National Outdoor Book Award 2010

12/20/2010

0 Comments

 
Every year in early November, the National Outdoor Book Award committee announces their choices of titles that recognize the work of outstanding writers and publishers of outdoor books.  Here are some of the NOBA titles of 2010 that you can find on the shelves at the Lanpher Library.
Picture
Winning Honorable Mention in the History/Biography Category, is Last Man on the Mountain: The Death of an American Adventurer on K2, by Jennifer Jordan.  In 2002, Jennifer Jordan and Jeff Rhoades were climbing K2, the second highest summit in the world, when they found the remains of Dudley Wolfe, an American who disappeared on the mountain in 1939.  Jennifer investigated his life and uncovered a story of weath, ambition and betrayal.


Just Passin' Thru, is written by Winton Porter, who cashed in his 401k, cleaned out his bank account and became a "backpack-purging, tent-selling, hostel-running, first-aid-dispensing, lost-kid finding, argument-settling, romance-fixing, chili-making" shopkeeper deep in the Georgia woods, smack on the Appalachian Trail.  Told with humor, and with an  unforgettable cast of characters, this book won NOBA's Honorable Mention in the Outdoor Literature Category. 

Picture
Camping with the President, by Ginger Wadsworth and illustrated by Karen Dugan, is the winner in the NOBA Children's Category.  This picture book tells the story of May 1903 when President Theodore Roosevelt, dismissed his Secret Service men and sent away reporters to go camping with the world famous naturalist, John Muir.  For 3 nights and 4 days, the two men traveled on horseback, slept under the stars and enjoyed the beauty and uniqueness of California's Yosemite Park.  As a result of this camping trip, President Roosevelt set aside new new national parks and monuments, a move his presidency became famous for.  This book was carefully researched by both Author and Illustrator, to give an accurate account of time and place and the lasting effects of the camping trip.

0 Comments

 
On Wednesday, January 26th at 7:00 p.m at the Lanpher Library, we will host a book discussion about "Water for Elephants", the best selling novel by Sara Gruen.
Picture
Hailed as "A riveting story...Gruen is an old-fashioned storyteller..." and "A fascinating setting and richly anecdotal story that is enjoyable right up to the final, inevitable revelation." and "A beautiful book." and "Endlessly surprising and superior on its attention to detail, the novel is the unknown adventure saga we can't believe we've never heard." 

If you haven't already read "Water for Elephants", here's your excuse to
get started. 
If you have read it already, give it another read and visit us on the 26th of January to discuss it with others. 
We have copies available at the Lanpher Library to borrow for this discussion.  Please stop by to borrow your copy today.
We hope you join us for the first book discussion of 2011...with "In the Time of Butterflies", by Julia Alvarez to follow in February.
