Book of Esther

mother taking me to the library every Sunday for story time. One of the librarians that worked in there would read us books and then we were able to check out a book for the week. When I was younger I also had a library card that I kept in my purse. To this day my favorite book is "Brown bear Brown bear" by Bill Martin. I used to check it out all the time and even now! I bring books to work frequently and "Brown Bear Brown Bear" is one of them. I read it to my kids in hopes that I can share my…

Death: Paper Books Paper books exist from ancient times up until today. Books have a long history, and it is unclear of when the first book was made. This long lasting legacy still remains today. There is a major debate on whether or not paper books will be extinct or not. However, people seem to misinterpret the debate. Paper books did not vanish because people are not using it anymore, but paper books are decreasing because not many people use it. The decrease in the usage of printed books…

Reading chapter books usually meant you were smart and you were in the highest reading class. That’s what made me want to read chapter books.

My goal was to read the entire book without giving up, and being able to answer any questions anyone had about the book. My librarian, Mrs. Gasaway took my book and scanned it, and then came an odd noise…

Coffee and books seem to coexist in a symbiotic relationship in the twenty-first century. The local Barnes and Noble no doubt has a Starbucks inside, where you can enjoy a cup of coffee while reading a novel. Perhaps that is why the Espresso Book Machine has a homage to the delightful substance in its very name. More likely it’s due to the claim that this machine can print a paperback book “‘in less time than it takes to make and enjoy a caramel macchiato’”3. Although the validity of that…
