New Club to join!

There is a new club that was left off the list from club sign up day last week. Here is information about it. You need to act quickly if you would like to join.

Do you like to Read? Do you want to know what is available, both old and new, for check out from the media center? Well, I have the club for you! The ROUND ROBIN READING club is being offered Club B Day. I will pull some of our best books for you to sample. You will spend 5-10 minutes reading each book during club time. This will give you some great ideas for books you will want to checkout.

If this sound like a club you would be interested in joining, stop by the Media Center THIS WEEK and let me (Mrs. V) know. Your club schedule will need to be changed by Monday.

YES, we are still open!

Due to all of the new construction in C and E halls, you may be thinking the Media Center must be closed. Well you are wrong, we are still open! For the remainder of the year it will be trickier to get here. Be looking for special events occurring this semester! It will be fun!

Now on to the book stuff--
Some of you might be interested in the new book we have, Search and Destroy by Dean Hughes. It is the story of a young man in the 1960's fresh out of high school who wants to go to war to experience life so he can write about it. He enlists and is shipped out to Vietnam. He is selected as a member of a special forces unit. What ensues is his experiences in the jungles and the friendships he makes with his fellow soldiers. Are his experiences what he was searching for? This book is packed with war action!

Look for it in our New Book Collection under FIC HUG. And then let me know what you thought.

More NEW Books!

I am happy to report that we have new books once again! Come check them out on the new book display area. With this order we purchased many books that are parts of series.
For example Red is for Remembrance by Laurie Faria Stolarz and we also got Bleed by Stolarz.
Tamora Pierce fans should look for Trickster's Queen (which is a sequel to Trickster's Choice) and book one in the Beka Cooper series, Terrier.
Sarah Dessen fans should check out Just Listen.
The next installment of the Nannies novels by Melody Mayer is Have to Have It.
A new series, Seven Deadly Sins by Robin Wasserman, continues with Wrath and Pride.
Readers looking for true life, gritty, urban storylines can check out Street Love, Street Pharm, or Trash.
Everyone has heard of Cinderella but what about the life of an ugly stepsister? Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire tells her story. If you saw or read Wicked, this is by the same author.
Some others that look good:
Code Talker by Joseph Bruchac--about the Navajo Marines of World War II
The Angel of Death by Alane Ferguson--a forensic mystery about the death of an English teacher and the student who works in the morgue and life is very complicated.

As you read some of these or others please drop me a quick reply to let others know what Southeast students thought!
