We visited the 60th library branch of LAPL! The Chatsworth Branch Library is in the Chatsworth neighborhood of L.A.’s San Fernando Valley.
We read lots of books during our visit and Riley drew on the drawing wall. We even got to talk to the Children’s Librarian, Chris! Thanks for coming up and saying hi to us, Chris!
Riley wanted a scary story read to her over and over again before we left. She is into scary stories lately. . . “Let’s do a ghost story!” We took home lots of good books once we finally did leave.
We got:
The Too Scary Story by Bethanie Deeney Murguia;
Clifford’s First Halloween by Norman Bridwell;
Jumping Off Library Shelves: A Book of Poems selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins and illustrated by Jane Manning;
Harlem’s Little Blackbird words by Renée Watson, pictures by Christian Robinson;
Here’s a Little Poem: A Very First Book of Poetry collected by Jane Yolen and Andrew Fusek Peters ; illustrated by Polly Dunbar.
Let’s Go Bobby by Ruth Wielockx;
The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn, illustrations by Ruth E. Harper and Nancy M. Leak;
Crabby Crab by Christopher Raschka;
Hello Door by Alastair Heim and illustrated by Alisa Coburn;
Sun & Moon Sisters written and illustrated by Khoa Lê;
The Cazuela That The Farm Maiden Stirred by Samantha R. Vamos and illustrated by Rafael López;
Seven Scary Monsters by Mary Beth Lundgren ; illustrated by Howard Fine.
Each and every book brought joy, whether it was the first time reading it, or the fifth.
Next time you’re in the Chatsworth area, visit the library! It’s amazing how many things are going on. They even have Pajama Storytime on Wednesdays at 6pm! Or Tiny Tots Storytime on Wednesdays at 10:30am.
Happy Library Week! Check out some pictures from two years ago at the library. . . we’ve been visiting LAPL branches since the Spring of 2017 and there’s still no stopping us until we get to Branch 72.
