Local Bookstore gives back to the community
By Novella Fry
ORLANDO, Fla. - Waldenbooks in the Florida mall held a story time for local kids Saturday, October 4th, 2008. “Borders’ has always been active in the local communities” says the store’s manager Carol Rief. She continued to say. “My own grandchildren come to story time. It’s a great way to sample the newest children books.”
Reifs grandchildren were indeed in attendance along with the two other children as the book seller Christian Brant, 31, read selected titles. The bear snores on and The bear wants more were Ashley Cohen’s, age 6, top choices, saying that the “pictures were my favorite”.
A total of four books were read including The bear snores on and The bear wants more both by Karma Wilson (Author), Jane Chapman (Illustrator), as well as an excerpt from Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kenny and the Eve of the Emperor Penguin by Mary Pope Osborne during the 30 minute story time.
“This was kind of a trial for our store” said Brant who went on to say that if it seemed to go well that it would be done more frequently throughout Borders and Waldenbooks in the Orlando area.
