Lois and Margaret organized a "not quite ready for adult books" reading group at work. We are reading children's books. To date we have read "The Wind in the Willows", "The Borrowers", and "All Of A Kind Family". It has turned out to be fun and informative. Some people have read the books as kids, some are reading the books for the first time. Some people do research (!) about the author, book setting, and vocabulary terms. And it brings together people from all parts of the library, who rarely work together. It's been just terrific. Next we are reading "Mary Poppins". I think it is going to be a shock for people who only know the story from the movie.

This sounds grand... oh but if only more grownups would read children's books then the world might be much the better I think...
