Friends
by Eric CarleFrom the creator of the all-time classic VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR comes a sweetly resonant story about the power of friendship.When a best friend moves away, it can be painful for the child who is left behind. But the spunky boy in this upbeat story makes up his mind to find his missing playmate. Young readers will cheer on the boy as he braves currents, climbs mountains, and dashes through rain before, finally, reuniting with his friend. A story alive with love and perseverance, brightened with vibrant art and Eric Carle's trademark fostering of imagination.This deeply personal story for Eric is dedicated to his longtime wife, Bobbie, and it is their bond that inspired the book. For anyone who has ever scaled mountains to be with the one he loves, or for anyone who has simply known the love and joy of a great friendship, this book will strike a resonant chord.“This story of love and determination is illustrated with Carle's extraordinary signature artwork. For anyone who would cross rivers and scale mountains for a beloved friend, this warmhearted story will create an emotional response. Young readers will learn the value of friendship and its many challenges.” —School Library Journal “Often dynamic and quite beautiful, these colorful illustrations of the river, the meadow, and so on are abstract in style and show up well from a distance. A picture-book tribute to the strength of childhood friendships.” —Booklist "The images are beautiful and evocative." —Publishers Weekly

Last week, I added to a great conversation started by Julie Jurgensin the Storytime Underground Facebook Group(if you are not following Storytime Underground, I must insist that you do so immediately!) about storytime scheduling. When, if ever, do you take a break?
(Before I get any farther, I'm gonna encourage you to read Marge Loch-Waters's thoughts on storytime breaks, too!)
While I know that our families love storytime, we take several long breaks throughout the year.
Typically, our winter/spring session starts mid-January and goes through mid-April. We take 5-6 weeks off during April and May to prep for Summer Reading Club and to allow for school visits to promote the SRC and connect with our school-age kids. We'll have 7 or 8 weeks of storytime over the summer and then take August off. Fall session runs from the week of Labor Day through mid-December and then we take a 4-5 week break over the holidays and beginning of January.
All of our storytimes are currently drop-in because attendance was going way, way down for registered sessions of storytime. We offer baby storytime and toddler time (2's and 3's) twice a week each and we offer Preschool Explorers and Reading Rock Stars (beginning readers, ages 4-6) once a week each. Starting this month we'll also be offering a monthly bi-lingual storytime in the evening and hopefully at some point a regular evening storytime.
In addition to this, we often have several group visits and outreach visits each week. Yes, I have a staff and we spread out the workload so that everyone typically ends up doing 2-3 programs a week. But I cannot fathom doing all that we do without breaks here and there.
Storytimes tend to break up the day, making it difficult to work on a large, involved project. Having to schedule staff meetings, staff training, employee evaluations, committee meetings, outreach visits, etc. gets really tricky when you're working a
