In our pursuit to bring this hidden gem to the forefront, we rebranded the shop as &#8216;Little Bear Books.&#8217; This transformation aims to turn the shop into a sought-after destination where the community can not only discover but also purchase quality books for their children, nurturing a love for reading. The name itself, chosen for its ability to evoke warmth, comfort, and playfulness, perfectly encapsulates the enchanting world we aspire to create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our endeavor to breathe life into the &#8216;Little Bear Books&#8217; brand, we were fortunate to collaborate with the award-winning illustrator, Kady MacDonald Denton. Renowned for her ability to capture the personality of bears, evident in her popular Bear and Mouse books for Candlewick Press, including the New York Times Bestseller, A Visitor for Bear, Kady was the perfect choice. Her illustrations, featuring the impish little bear, his animal and human friends, and vibrant depictions of books, have arrived at the library. These delightful images will grace the Little Bear Books&#8217; social media, bookmarks, gift cards, and other signage. The endearing illustrations are a testament to Kady&#8217;s artistic brilliance, and we eagerly anticipate sharing them with the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate this artistic endeavor and the unveiling of Little Bear Books, we have curated a special exhibition in the library gallery titled: &#8220;The Art of Picture Books.&#8221; This show invites patrons to explore the magic behind the creation of picture books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are thrilled to embark on this exciting chapter in our \u2018Friends of the Library\u2019 history, as &#8216;Little Bear Books&#8217; prepares to weave tales, spark imaginations, and become a cherished destination for families in our community.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Dwight Branch of the Lake of Bays Library.
