An Awesome Chair for NLW 2014!

It's Wednesday of National Library Week, which means it is National Bookmobile Day! Keep an eye out for Linebaugh's Bookmobile making its way around Middle Tennessee today, and give them a honk or a wave in appreciation. Our Bookmobile allows us to spread the joy of reading outside of the library's walls, and we would like to say thank you to the people who take the time and the money to make that happen.


Also in accordance with National Library Week, let's discuss Judy Blume! The best-selling author and intellectual freedom advocate is the 2014 National Library Week honorary chair. Judy Blume has discussed that she found her first favorite books sitting on the floor of the children's room of the public library in Elizabeth, New Jersey. She has written 28 books and recently co-wrote/produced the film adaptation of her YA novel Tiger Eyes. Blume was also the deserving recipient of the Margaret A. Edwards Award for Lifetime Achievement from the American Library Association. Judy Blume's books are beloved around the world in many languages, and we wanted to highlight some of her books we have available in circulation for you, our patrons. As always, click on the linked book title to be directed to LPLS's catalog to reserve a copy!












These titles are just a small selection of Judy Blume's very popular works. We hope you find an awesome new read or rediscover an old favorite of our awesome honorary chair for this year's National Library Week, Judy Blume!
