Actress and Author Julianne Moore Visits Our Library

Sometimes the library is just a pretty backdrop.  Yesterday actress Julianne Moore appeared as Proctor & Gamble's spokesperson for "Love Your School Day," a day of making classrooms sparkle--with P&G's products, of course.  She was interviewed in the library about the importance of a clean environment for learning.   It is not so off-base, though, to place her in the library.  Julianne is also the author of the popular  Freckleface Strawberry books.

PS 63 second graders welcomed author James Thach in the library.  Mr. Thach is the author of The Seal Pup, a book in verse about the story of a lost seal pup.  The book--a mixture of fact and narrative--is populated with seals, walruses, penguins, sharks, and other polar animals.  He explained that he did his background research in the library, from books, as well as watching documentary nature films.
