Changing Hands Bookstore's Grandmas' Club
Changing Hands Bookstore's Grandmas' Club
The inaugural meeting of the new club discusses family-themed books and covers the special discounts and book lists the club makes available to members.
Two former educators, Kathy Halsey and Vicki Miles (who just happens to be Gayle Shanks' sister), have organized a Grandmas' Club to introduce adults to the best children's books available for kids of all ages. It's a free program and open to all grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, moms and dads who like to read with children and celebrate special days with books and educational toys.
Meetings will include conversations about what constitutes good literature, which books are appropriate for which ages, and events such as crafts, puppet shows, book talks, and special guests.
This first meeting, a look at family-themed books, will also cover the special discounts and book lists the club will make available to members.

ABOUT THE HOSTS
VICKI MILES taught elementary school for over 30 years, 20 of those in gifted education. She creatively used manipulative materials and literature to enrich her programs and won numerous teaching awards throughout her career. She found that her best students came from families who had lots of books around their homes and read together on a regular basis.
KATHY HALSEY is a children's writer, a former school librarian and Past President of The Ohio Educational Library Media Association. She was an English teacher for 17 years and a librarian for 15. She currently serves as a charter board member of Page One Literary Center in Phoenix and volunteers as a reading tutor in a local elementary school. Kathy is passionate about literacy, libraries, education issues, picture books, Corgis, and storytelling. She is particularly interested in stories that showcase strong female characters.
