Book Group Post 3 : Some Utah Authors in Dec. Happy Books in Jan.

For December 2017 we talked about books by Utah author couple Caralyn and Mark Buehner and Utah author Rick Walton.

Then in January 2018, we talked about happy books, which included the following titles and authors:
(again, if there are some that we talked about at the Jan. meeting and I didn't write it down, let me know and I'll add them-thanks!) :
  • books by Mo Willems
  • The Secret Pizza Party by Rubin 
  • Jingle Jingle by Smee
  • Good Boy Fergus by Shannon
  • Ish by Reynolds
  • Yes Day! by Rosenthal
  • Woodpecker Wants a Waffle by Breen
  • books by Karma Wilson
  • 100 Things That Make Me Happy by Schwartz
  • A Hundred Billion Trillion Stars by Fishman
And, on the note of humorous things, this is what happens when most people don't let the library staff know that the receipt printer is turned off and finally someone does!  We generate a lot of book reminder receipts at just one station!  (This is at a checkout station that is used infrequently through the day and yes, these are receipts from just part of one day.  I glad to say our library sees a lot of usage from programs to computer use to people actually checking out physical materials.)
