What’s New @ AFPLS

USA Today published an article yesterday about an interview with Laura and Jenna Bush who are on a nine-city tour promoting their new children’s book, Read All About It!. The first lady, a former school librarian and teacher, and her daughter co-wrote the book to encourage reading and imagination in young children. The central character, Tyrone, is an up-to-no-good second grader who thinks going to the library is uncool. Now, we all know that’s not true! The book is set to be published sometime this month, so be on the lookout for copies in your local branch.

Jenna Bush is already the author of one book, Ana’s Story, about a young mother in Panama living with HIV. You can check the catalog here for copies of that title.
