Next week Oliver Sullivan will celebrate his second birthday. He and his mother Amanda have just discovered that his birthday coincides with the Scholastic Book Fair at the Murphy Public Library. Maybe a new book is in order for the birthday boy!

The Scholastic Book Fair will run from May 23 to June 4. This is the perfect time to buy books for your children, grandchildren or maybe something for yourself. You never know what you will find at the book fair. Call 837-2417.

The Scholastic Book Fair takes place at the Murphy Public Library from May 23 to June 4.  Murphy residents Amanda Sullivan and her son Oliver often come by bicycle and are sure to visit the library to see what treats Scholastic has in store this year. Call 837-2417.

Amanda and Oliver live in Murphy and often visit the library, she on her bicycle and he in his bicycle trailer. Like many parents in the Murphy area, she understands the importance of introducing a child to a library and its books at a young age.

This past week Joy Bowlin turned six, and what did she do to celebrate?  She visited the Murphy Library along with her 8-year-old sister Grace and 4-year-old sister Hope.

Joy, Grace and Hope Bowlin love to read and visit the Murphy Public Library, especially when the Scholastic Book Fair is going on.

Their parents are Ellen and Larry Bowlin of Murphy and the girls are home-schooled. Like a lot of students in Cherokee County, they often visit the library to browse the bookshelves.

This Thursday, May 24 is another good time to visit the Murphy Public Library. The Scholastic Book Fair is starting and will run from May 24 to June 5. Read the rest of this entry »

If you ask Angela McCarty’s 12-year-old daughter Jamie if she’s ever read the Skippyjon Jones series by Judy Schachner at the Murphy Library, her eyes will light up.  “I love them!” she exclaims.  Skippyjon Jones is a Siamese cat who thinks he’s a Chihuahua.  When she was reading that series, the sixth grader at Murphy Middle School used to “get piles of them” to read.

There are also books at the Murphy Library that offers kids lists of world records in sports, the environment, space — you name it.  And adventure stories, like the one about an English boy in a Yorkshire village foster home who finds there’s witchcraft going on nearby.

 These are from Scholastic Book Publishers.  Starting tomorrow, you can find books for your favorite young readers too.  The library is holding its fall Scholastic Book Fair running from September 15 through September 28.  Books include award-winning fiction, picture, easy reader and chapter books.  The library can accept credit cards, cash and checks.  As we like to say, anytime is a good time to buy a kid a book.  Call 837-2417.

Scholastic Books sends their biggest truck laden with books for their book fair at the Murphy Library. That’s because children love to read in our town and parents and grandparents know books make great gifts.

Librarian Jeff Murphy announced that the truck would be arriving soon.  The Scholastic Book Fair will run from October 7 to October 19 in the main room of the library.

Jeff Murphy will be greeting a Scholastic Book truck the week of October 4 just like he greeted this truck in 2009. The Scholastic Book Fair will be held from October 7 to 17. All sorts of books will be available for purchase.

It’s not too early to find Christmas presents, assistant librarian Melissa Barker added.  Actually, anytime is a good time to buy a child a book.  Books include award-winning fiction, picture, easy reader and chapter books.  There are special bookmarks and software for sale too.  Adults will also find books.

The library accepts credit cards, cash and checks.  Call 837-2417 for details.
