Even though life gets busy this time of year with holidays and end of semester or end of year tasks, it’s definitely OK to make time to pick up a new book. We hope our choices for December will encourage you to finish up 2017 feeling creative and cheerful!

For our group CMLE Librarian Professionals, we will be reading Creative Confidence: Unleashing the Creative Potential Within Us All by Tom Kelley and David Kelley.

“Too often, companies and individuals assume that creativity and innovation are the domain of the “creative types.”  But two of the leading experts in innovation, design, and creativity on the planet show us that each and every  one of us is creative.”

For our group CMLE Librarians Enjoying Books, we are choosing a picture book for this month! We are excited to read Tomas and the Library Lady by Pat Mora, illustrated by Raúl Colón.

“A young Texan finds refuge in his new Iowa town’s library, where the librarian offers him cool comfort from hot summer days and whirlwind adventures through reading.”
