They're Here!

We have received our latest order of books! Come in and check them out. We'll keep highlighting books here on the blog of the newest titles. If you have requested a title and we don't have a copy then it's on a list to be ordered next when funds are available.

Be sure you check in the area "Find a Book" on the right hand sidebar. This link is what we have in our library currently. Many students think if a book is not on the shelf, then we don't have the book. That's untrue. Most popular books get checked out. If you were looking for the title I bet someone else has done the same thing as well. You can be put on a waiting list for a book. Just let Mrs. Moore know or any of the library staff and we will be willing to help you with putting in a request for a book already checked out to another student.

Update on our author, J. Scott Savage... He will be here on November 19, 2009 and will be in the Little Theater during first hour English. Keep up your grades and your English teacher will give you a pass to excuse you from your class to attend this special event.
