BIG LIBRARY READ IS HERE!
Join the global ebook club June 22, 2020 to July 13, 2020 by reading the ebook or audiobook version of "The Darwin Affair" by Tim Mason.
From Amazon: "London, June 1860: When an assassination attempt is made on Queen Victoria, and a petty thief is gruesomely murdered moments later—and only a block away—Chief Detective Inspector Charles Field quickly surmises that the crimes are connected. Was Victoria really the assassin’s target? Or were both crimes part of an even more sinister plot? Field’s investigation soon exposes a shocking conspiracy: the publication of Charles Darwin’s controversial On the Origin of Species has set off a string of terrible crimes—murder, arson, kidnapping. Witnesses describe a shadowy figure with lifeless, coal-black eyes. As the investigation takes Field from the dangerous alleyways of London to the hallowed halls of Oxford, the list of possible conspirators grows, and the body count escalates. And as he edges closer to the dastardly madman called the Chorister, he uncovers dark secrets that were meant to remain forever hidden." There will be an interview with Tim on a podcast as well as a discussion board where readers can discuss the book. Things for parents to check out during this time:To help keep children interested in books and learning, several authors, illustrators, publishers, and such have come together to help give children a constant. To see what authors and illustrators are doing for kids, click here.
We also have some links to things museums are doing while during quarantine. There's a list to check out for ideas to educational resources as well. To check out those resources please click here.
