The Media Center Wants to Know What You Are Reading

We've had a couple of months off with lots of fabulous time to catch up on some good reading. The Media Center would like to know what you are reading (or read over the summer). Please share your thoughts on the blog.









"One of several books I read over the summer was The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen. This is her third (the other 2 were great, too) book and just like her other two it reeked with southern charm, magical phenomena and palatable pleasures. The main character Emily Benedict returns to the home of her dead mother to live with her grandfather, who happens to be a giant, and begins an unraveling tale of why her mother left the small town of Mullaby, North Carolina, and never spoke of it to anyone, not even her daughter. By the end of the story everyone is brought together and realizes they have everything they need. The characters are wonderful and the unraveling mystery is compelling."- T. Rigole

Student Orientation and First Two Skills Lessons

Please sign up for a time to bring your students to the Media Center for Orientation. I have lots of information, old and new, to give them. You will benefit from this orientation session, as well. The first 2 skills lessons will cover using the Online Library Catalog and learning the Dewey Decimal System. I feel very strongly about empowering students (and staff) with the skills and knowledge to become independent library patrons.
