The Madness Begins....Again

Yep! March Madness strikes again!


If you've been in the library in the past week, you can't have missed the GIANT BLACK MONSTROSITY blocking your view through the library. I don't even know what to call it besides a wall. A wall made of fuzzy velcro-y material to which we can attach things. Anyway, I'm getting off topic.

Attached to said giant black wall is this year's bracket of YA books. We chose to go alphabetically first. So the first round pitted Airborn against Allegiant, Hold Me Closer, Necromancer against The Hobbit etc.

But that was last week. This week is EVEN HARDER. Seriously, I'm getting hives just thinking about having to choose between some of these books.

So here's the deal, all you have to do to help choose the winner is vote! We've got physical ballots conveniently located on the table in front of the aforementioned giant black wall and soon you'll be able to vote online as well! Stay tuned for more info!

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...

Here's the best trailer for Coraline so far. And it's actually Neil Gaiman's (he wrote the book) favorite!
