Back to school time is here,  so I pulled out some special books! Why not start the year off with All Are Welcome, to set a tone of inclusivity in the classroom? Or read Libby Loves Science or Science Verse to get students revved up for a Science lesson? If the World were 100 PeopleContinue reading “Time to Hit the Books”

One of my favorite things to do as a bookstore owner is to group books that have things in common. Sometimes it feels juvenile, like asking kindergartens to sort the blocks by shape, and now sort the blocks by color.  Perhaps it’s not juvenile… perhaps it’s an “Everything I need to know I learned inContinue reading “Silly Lorry, Grouping is for Kids”

It’s my dream that, one day, I’ll mention a title in a post and someone will see it and message me, “Hold that book for me!” And then I’ll deliver it, or we’ll meet up at one of the Lorry’s various stops. We’ll laugh. We’ll cry. We’ll exchange currency for literature. It hasn’t happened yet…Continue reading ““Hold that book!””
