We had a record breaking meeting this month with 19 awesome BookSeekers attending – it was great to have you all there!  Our theme this month was animal stories and we looked at a range of cool chapter books and interesting non-fiction to keep us busy reading.  We also had a couple of fun activities including an animal noises guessing game.  Other people in the library must have wondered what all the roaring and grunting sounds were about…!

Karori BS Sept meeting 002

This month we were spies deciphering coded messages which Susannah had brought with her on a visit from Tawa Library.  We also had mystery items to take home with us. Each item had been wrapped up and had a short sentence about it on the outside with its barcode. It was great to choose something when you didn’t know what it might be. We also took some great photos of the whole crew. Here you see pictures of our group, us working out our codes and us choosing our books – it’s a real rush to get to the trolley before everyone else takes all the good books!

Can I beat the others to the good books!

Karori BookSeekers August 2010

This month’s meeting was lots of fun with the group playing charades, which meant lots of laughs. The reviews made us all want to read more in the horror genre, although some of the stories sounded a bit too scary for me.

For the next meeting we are reading adventure stories but first some of us have to become spies or villains IMG_1074for the Spy Spectacular at Central on August 20th.

We had a fantastic meeting this month. We looked at horror stories and shared some of our favourite scary stories. We also had fun writing our own spooky poems about ghosts and vampires.

 

Our theme for next month is an exciting one chosen by the BookSeekers – adventure stories! So make sure you get reviewing. We can’t wait to hear about all the cool books you’ve been reading!
