Family Read Night Features R.L. Stine and Marc Brown

St. Louis County Library is a great place for families to gather and discover the joys of reading. We encourage reading in many ways but one of my favorites is our annual Family Read Night. This year's Family Read Night will be held on Friday, September 11, 7:00 p.m. at the Headquarters branch. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. 

This year we welcome two children's literature giants on the same stage! 

R.L. Stine is the king of scary stories with his Goosebumps series. Kids just can't get enough of them. Those books spawned a TV show in the 1990s and be on the lookout for a new movie starring Jack Black in theaters this fall.

Marc Brown is best known for the adored Arthur books which launched a kid's cartoon that is still going strong after almost twenty years. Brown also illustrates many picture books for other authors.

These two authors have teamed up for a not-so-cuddly picture book "The Little Shop of Monsters"where you don't choose the monsters, the monsters choose you.
