World Lightweight Champion
You know what my favorite sport is? Boxing! I can jump in boxes, lie in boxes, chew on boxes, bat box lids, sleep in boxes, jump out of boxes, and even tip boxes over. No box can defeat me!

Summer Reading Kickoff
Make plans to be at the library for the Summer Reading Program kickoff Friday May 27 at 1:00. Ventriloquist Kevin Horner will be here with his friends Claude-Zilla the space dragon, Twinkie the rabbit, Roy D. Rooster, and Coconuts the gorilla. I don’t think I could be a good ventriloquist, since I only know how to say one word – meow.

Trixie’s Bookshelf: Frankly, Frannie
Frannie can’t wait to be grown up and have a job. She’s even got a resume and business cards ready. But what happens when she decides to host her own show when the class takes a field trip to a radio station? Look for Frankly, Frannie by AJ Stern in the juvenile fiction section. Wow, I’m only one and I have the best job in the world…being a library cat!

Time Travel
Where would I go if I had a time machine? Why, ancient Egypt of course. People there loved cats! In fact, if a person’s cat died, the person would shave off their eyebrows in mourning. The only problem with ancient Egypt is that they had a lot of pyramid schemes.
