Idaho Family Reading and Togetherness
Celebrate family and literacy with us this November! We’re all about showing kids that reading is fun and rewarding too! Every family member who reads our featured book will earn a small prize and get to take home a new prize book! Adults get to take home a prize book, too. This year’s book is Rump: The (Fairly) True Tale of Rumpelstiltskin by Liesl Shurtliff. 12-year-old Rump, mocked for his name, discovers he can spin straw into gold but quickly falls into a dangerous curse. He must face pixies, trolls, and a wicked queen on a perilous quest to break the spell. This award-winning tale is perfect for fans of fairy tale retellings. Grab you free copy at the library starting November 1st (While supplies last).
