On Monday, July 11 the Aurora Hills Librarians will celebrate the birthday of children's author E. B. White.
White was a long-time contributor for the New Yorker (he published for them for more than 6 decades!) but is most famous for his work for children. We remember reading and then rereading the adventures of Stuart in Stuart Little and Wilbur in Charlotte's Web.
Celebrate with us by dusting off your copies of White's classics, or check out one of ours!
