Re: [LM_NET] book for nursing home residents

["Patterson, Tracey Carol" <TCP1118@ECU.EDU>]

I know most of you are school librarians but I am hoping that those of you who are 
public librarians or those who have experience with nursing home residents can help 
me out.
 
My daughter hosts a book club comprised of about 5 girls around the ages of 10-11.  
I thought we could tie in a service project for the group in the month of December 
to a nursing home.  Maybe take a gift (book of course) and read to some of the 
residents.  I wanted to keep it a reading/book related activity.  
 
I am looking for suggestions of books that the girls could give and/or read to the 
residents.  Any of you have any suggestions?  I was thinking along the lines of 
something like a collection of short inspirational stories.
 
I also welcome any other suggestions you may have if you have had experience with 
nursing home residents in your libraries.
 
Thanks!
