Mamma Mia, Here I Go Again! Oh and Breaking Dawn!!

Back to school anyway! I wonder if anyone is as excited/nervous about school starting again as I am...(Last night I actually had a nightmare about not being able to find my classroom on the first day of class! I even remember what the class was, American History This makes no sense, first because my classes are all online now, and I am done with American History classes for the rest of my life!)

Okay, besides that weird nightmare, I have good news! I have finished the planning of fall programs here at the library! If you would like a beautiful, full-color brochure of your very own you can pick one up here at the library in the juvenile dept. or in the YA area. If you're trying to be more green (and know you'll lose your brochure as soon as you walk out of the building! :P), I will post everything here as the year progresses.

First off, every Tuesday we'll be having Gaming Tuesdays. This means we're going to be playing some multi-player video games such as Wii, Guitar Hero, Rock Band and DDR from 4:00-5:00 every Tuesday. Don't miss it!

On Fridays, as usual, we'll be hanging out from 4:00-5:00 in the activity room. Before school starts we'll have a Back to School Forum for both new and returning students to junior high and high school to share hints and tips about dealing with life and school work for a new year and a new grade.


Now, my most important piece of business!


I finished Breaking Dawn (not easy with all the birthdays and weddings and Olympics this past week!) and I need to know what everyone thought!! Post a comment, email, or come in and visit me!!

See you soon!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban the second time around

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!

  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...
