She will read when you devour this dark and disturbing novel about gives herself purpose by taking care of a small flock of chickens, as college girls and how they treat each other in order to be popular well as finding small but kind, funny, or wry ways of interacting with or important. The writing is chilling and so authentic, I felt like her neighbors, eccentric mother-in-law, and caring husband, Percy. I was back in high school or college with a group of toxic girls There are plenty of clever and funny moments from scene to scene who would stop at nothing to get what they wanted. The more (not to mention the odd and interesting analyses of a chicken’s life I read, the more I wondered how Flynn could possibly come up and point of view), but the beauty in this book lies in the narrator’s with an ending that would be both satisfying and as deliciously acceptance of the everyday, and of all the things—bad, good, but evil as the rest of the book. She managed to deliver, and then mostly in-between—that come therein.” —Cat Chapman, some.” —Nancy McFarlane, Fiction Addiction, The Oxford Exchange, Tampa, FL Greenville, SC Based on reporting from hundreds of independent bookstores across America.

  • About This Toolkit
    About this Toolkit Growing Readers Together (GRT) - the Colorado State Library’s project addressing the needs of informal child care providers- is pleased to present this toolkit, developed as a result of GRT’s first two years of work. This toolkit, created from project evaluation results and lessons learned by participating libraries, will be of interest to any library wishing to expand its services to engage the family, friends and neighbors that young families depend on to provide child care prior to school entry (i.e., aged birth – 5). The first two sections of this toolkit provide background information on the development of Growing Readers Together, as well as a discussion of the role informal child care providers play in Colorado. The initial two sections conclude by considering how and why libraries are uniquely positioned to serve this population. Next, the toolkit provides examples of the specific activities and materials that libraries of all sizes in GRT have used to meet the needs of these unique caregivers, and presents lessons learned along the way. The remaining sections address ways to incorporate some of the lessons from Growing Readers Together into your own library services, and provide documents for you in planning your next steps. Finally, and because Growing Readers Together believes in resource sharing, materials developed by us as well as by others have been included for your consideration and use. 1 Table of Contents Growing Readers Together: Background I. Growing Readers Together Background II. Family, Friend & Neighbor (FFN) Child Care Providers in Colorado: The Opportunity III. Serving FFN through Libraries- Details and Local Examples IV.
