Returning to the Golden Age of Television

By
That's right, I said Golden Age and that can mean only one thing: Nickelodeon in the 1990s. Yep, I was a kid and you guys were babies/not even born. Seriously though, the 90s were home to some really awesome television: Salute Your Short, Clarissa Explains It All, Hey Dude, Are You Afraid of the Dark and many more. The show we're going to be watching this Friday is called the Adventures of Pete and Pete, which is about 2 brothers named Pete, their family (dad who is obsessed with the lawn, and mom who has a metal plate in her head that picks up radio signals!), friends (Artie the Strongest Man in the World, Ellen, and Nona F. Mecklenberg who wears a cast because she likes scratching the annoying itch) and their antics in Wellsville.

For some more info on the show, check out the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Pete_&_Pete

And now for some pictures:





And next week, I'm putting together a really awesome scavenger hunt. And not your regular, boring scavenger hunt.

See you in the library,
Christina

Sirius Black's Wanted Poster Title/Year originally published: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban/1999 When I originally read it: 1999, I believe I got it for Christmas… What I thought of it then: When I first read this book I thought parts of it were the saddest things I’d ever read. When Harry overhears that his parents’ best friend betrayed them to Voldemort and was so angry he wanted to kill Sirius Black I cried, a lot. Besides that I thought the whole Time Turner device was really nifty on J.K.'s part (yeah, we're close, I can call her that*). I loved Lupin and the fact that chocolate is the remedy for when you've had all your worst memories brought to mind by Dementors.I also always love Scabbers so I was really sad when he turned out to be the betrayer of Lily and James Potter. Sigh. When I re-read it: January 2011 What my thoughts are now: This book is so great, I can see why it's a lot of people's favorite of the series. I mean, c'mon t...

Summer 2021 Recommendations for Your High School Reader!

By
  Summer is fast approaching and if you have a high school reader, you might be looking for new titles to engage them this summer. Librarian, historian, and author Alexandria Brown has allowed us to share their recommended lists to help make that easier! Per their blog*: As a high school librarian, offering reading recommendations for students is one of my favorite parts of my job. These lists are for parents, library workers, and teen readers... I created these lists through an alchemy involving age of the protagonists, themes, genre, tone, complexity, reader skill/comfortability level, events and topics a student will likely encounter in their studies during the school year, and books they are unlikely to read for school. I also tried to pick materials that published in the last few years or will be published by June 2021. Preference to #ownvoices and marginalized authors. Below you'll find links to their lists broken up by grade level. Whether you know an avid reader who always...
