I had such a good time visiting two Fraser Valley regional libraries this week: the George Mackie Library in North Delta and the Tsawwassen Library in South Delta.

I had lots of fun with grades three to five students, talking about subjects like blood and poisons and underwear and how those relate to people who changed the world.

And speaking of changing the world — I was hugely impressed by all the things the Fraser Valley Regional Library people do with local students. There were other children’s authors arriving on other days to speak to more classes; there were reading contests for intermediate students; there were even special pockets just for kindergarteners to hold their very first library cards.

I’m off to two more libraries next week, to soak up some more book love.
