The school year has gotten off to a great start. I think everyone is just about settled in and comfortable with their schedules so now it is time to get down to business. Library classes start next. I am so excited to get to see all of you. I have some fun and useful lessons planned for this year. As most of you know, we have a high school book fair last week. With the amount of merchandise that we sold we were able to get all these new books. They should be on the shelves and ready for check out soon. I am super excited about The Kill Order which is the prequel to The Maze Runner series by James Dashner. Also we now have the final two books in the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson. Looking through those books I see several that I can't wait to read. I think that you will all be able to find something great to read. The book Cinder is one that I have heard about for a while now. It is a Cinderella story with cyborgs. Should be interesting. And Between the Lines is a young adult novel written by Jodi Picoult and her daughter. Jodi Picoult is the author of My Sister's Keeper and this is her first book collaborating with her daughter.
There are so many books in the library that I want to read and I like to be able to suggest fantastic books for you to enjoy. But I don't have all the time I would like to be able to read:( So I have devised a plan to help. This year I want to add another layer to our library website. I would like for students to write book reviews for me in addition to the reviews that I write. I will be placing a page on the library webpage for students to submit their books reviews. I will read them and then place them on the website. I hope to have tons of reviews so that others can find out which books are the best. I hope that you will all help this be a great program. Can't wait to see ya'll in the library. Happy Reading!
