Movie....Thursday? Scott Pilgrim

Sorry about not posting on Monday, we had our Volunteer Appreciate Lunch and I also had to return the indoor planetarium to the Lunar and Planetary Institute, after that the day just seemed to fly by!

Anyway, I'm really excited about this movie coming out on August 13. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is directed by one of my favorite directors, Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Spaced) and stars the usually hilarious Michael Cera.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is based on a series of graphic novels by Bryan Lee O'Malley about a 25 year old slacker named Scott Pilgrim and his exploits/adventures with his band, his roommate, the new girl he's seeing and her 7 Evil Exes that he must battle in order to date her.

These are young adult books that lean a little more into the 'adult' of young adult, and the movie is rated PG-13. I know that's fine for most of my readers, but I wanted to put a little disclaimer here just in case, if you're not old enough or don't have permission from parents wait a few years until you are old enough/have permission. It's totally worth the wait.

Anyway, here's a link to Bryan Lee O'Malley's site: http://www.scottpilgrim.com/

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...
