As you may know, TCEA’s Librarian Conference is taking place this week, so I thought it would be fun to post a “Read a Book” poster featuring TCEA team members, like Peggy Reimers below. Peggy is actually “facilitating” the entire conference and gets a chunk of the credit, along with Katie Treat at TCEA for all the hard work they are doing. Of course, there is a wealth of talented librarians also presenting that are doing the fun work of presenting and making the conference a must-attend event. I always learn so much, and I’m inspired by people I’ve been learning from all my life.

It’s a pleasure to feature Peggy Reimers here with a book that is right up her alley, Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library:

Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library is a children’s novel by American author Chris Grabenstein. It was on the New York Times bestseller list for Middle Grade novels for 111 weeks between 2013 and 2016, peaking at #8 in hardback and #2 in paperback.^[1][2]

Grabenstein has stated that the book contains a secret puzzle that readers can decode. To solve it, he offers some advice given by Mr. Lemoncello in the book: “Forget the Industrial Revolution, my first idea might be your best solution.” (source)
