ALL Books due Friday, May 25th

ALL library books are due Friday, May 25th.  I need to know who still has overdue books and we need to settle things up before the end of the school year.  If a book is still due or a fee still owed, your report card may be held.

I will be sending out late notices this Friday.  I will also be giving a copy of these late notices to Ms. Mickelburgh. 

I will be in the HS library on Wednesdays and Thursdays.  If you bring the book in on a Monday, Tuesday, or Friday, please turn the book and fee into Sister Mary in the main office. 

Read Around the Block Summer 2012

Be sure to stop in and see if we have the "Read Around the Block" book that you are interested in.  We have some of the titles, and also some of the books from those series of books.

Summer Book Fair is Less Than 2 Weeks Away!

Our summer book fair is coming!  If your children have library on Tuesday, they will be attending the Book Fair with their class.  All other classes will sign up for a time to come view the fair on Wednesday or Thursday.

We will be open after school on all 3 days, as well as open during Portfolio Night. 

Remember, this is a "Buy One, Get One Free" fair.  The book with the lesser value is the one that will be FREE. 

This is a wonderful way for your children to stock up on great titles for the summer!

"Insurgent" is Coming!!

Coming the week of May 1st....the sequel to "Divergent."

One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.

Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth's much-anticipated second book of the dystopian Divergent series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature.
