Are you a doodler? If you are, you might appreciate this sketch found in an account book kept by George William Bragg between 1880 and 1884. The sketch shows a fantastical landscape of giant books connected by ladders and stacks. Meanwhile, a small figure in a top hat scrambles to reach the peak via a high staircase leading to what is labelled “room at the top.”
It’s not uncommon for archivists to find sketches and doodles in the pages of manuscripts, rare books and other items in their…

Our middle grade book spotlight this week is on books that that were published in 2012 and are celebrating their 10th birthday! I do not know what was in the water, air, or universe that year but there were so many amazing titles and authors to come out of that year of publishing that books we read today are still inspired by those groundbreaking works. Many have been adapted into movies we were clamoring to see in the theaters since 2012 and some titles we are still talking about…
Our middle grade book spotlight this week is on books that feature music!! If you are anything like me then you love music; there always has to be some sort of song or rhythm going on in the background (because when it is quiet it is so weird) so why not have that carry over to what we read? All of these titles have music woven throughout, some even with their own playlist, and we have an amazing offering of realistic, humor, fantasy and even a graphic novel so there is something…
