THE RIVERSIDE TRAIL
I had promised you guys a while back to talk about the bookbenches of London so here we go. The project is called books about town and they have placed benches from dozens of iconic British books all over London. I've been catching a few here and there, but a while ago I went on a mission.
My mission was to complete the riverside trail. 11 benches. 11 books, some of which I knew and others I did not. All were inspiring pieces of art in their own right and I was glad to have seen them.

Because I am on the track for youth services in librarianship, I took some particular time to look at the children's books mentioned. I have created a Pinterest board here of them as well as links to the books about town site and my local library catalog (so if you wish to read them). And if you have read any please share with me on Pinterest or on my blog (I am open to anoymous comments) about it. This trail had seven children's books.
Some of my favorites were: Paddington Bear, War Horse, How to Train Your Dragon, and Dr. Seuss.
If anyone is interested about Pinterest as a forum for discussion, watch my video here.
