March's Feature

March is a short month for us due to Spring Break, so we are featuring short stories! We just got lots of new short story collections in with our part one of our first big order of the year. Short story collections are great because each story in the collection can usually be read in a single sitting. Check one out today @ your library!

February's Featured Books: Romance

Romance books are on display for the month of February here in the media center. However, we aren't just featuring traditional romance stories! Sure, we've got lovey-dovey tales of teens falling in love, legends, retold fairy tales, and classic novels with stories of romance. But I also dug up many books with male protagonists, GLBT teens, adventure stories with a romantic twist, non-fiction books about relationships, and a few stories with not-so-happy endings. Check one out today @ your library.

January's Featured Books: Realistic Fiction

January is Realistic Fiction month in the media center. We've got all kinds of good stuff on display, from Bluford High to Orca books and lots more. Friendship, bullies, sports, drama, the effects of drug abuse, death, divorce, love, school, gangs, and growing up are all popular topics in realistic fiction. If you like books about modern kids and the conflicts of day to day life, realistic fiction is your genre! Check one out today @ your library!

December's Featured Books: Cultures Around the World

For the month of December, we are featuring books about Cultures Around the World. These are books about either main characters living in another country or characters who are from another country but living in America. We've got books about Bollywood, Quinceneras, the Chinese Cultural Revolution, African adventures, and the Amazon River...and many more! Our sixth and seventh grade social studies curriculum focus on the many cultures of the world, so these books are a great extension of that curriculum. These books will be on display until after the holiday break, so check one out today @ your library!

Historical Fiction Month

November is Historical Fiction month here in the media center. We will have historical fiction on display all month. This includes the books on the tops of the shelves and on the top shelf of each of the tall shelves. These books are on display so YOU can check them out, so take one home with you today!

I will admit that historical fiction is not usually my favorite genre, but even I found several items that caught my eye while pulling books. Don't worry though, I won't take them until after November! Check 'em out @your library!

Scary Books!

Our genre for October is SCARY BOOKS and we just got a whole lot of new scary books from our very successful Scholastic Book Fair! And now the scary books are easier to find than ever -- not only are they on display all month, but each scary book has a "Scary" sticker on the spine so you can easily find them all year round. Check these out and more @your library!
