Aurora Hills Branch Library will celebrate children’s non fiction author Gail Gibbons 66th birthday on Sunday August 1st!

Even if her name does not instantly ring a bell you have certainly seen dozens of her titles with their distinctive and colorful illustrations in the children’s non fiction section of Arlington Public Libraries. She has written titles on popular holidays, animals, sports, the environment, and art.

If you have never read any of her work now is the time to start – we suggest starting with her wonderful book about visiting the public library entitled Check it Out! The Book About Libraries.
