Books on Hold

Classes that completed today's activity quickly had time to browse new books (right now, the WWE Encyclopedia has no fewer than TEN holds) and place older ones on the hold shelf for first checkout next week. As you can see below, our students LOVE series.

 

A new Amulet comes out next month, and the new Wimpy Kid hits stores in November. I will do my best to get both ... kids, if you lost books last year and still need to pay for them, why not do that now so the library has the money for them? Maybe I'd even let you be the first one to take them home. Just don't lose them!

Second graders got to browse today after finishing a short assignment; the most popular books were by Mo Willems. And the WWE.

NPR Backseat Bookclub: Wonder

As the NPR site says, Wonder "tells the story of 10-year-old Auggie Pullman, who was born with such a serious facial deformity that children and adults avert their eyes or twist their faces in disgust when they first see him. He's a tough, sweet kid who's been home-schooled and protected by his close friends and family, and Wonder follows his entry into the rough-and-tumble world of kids who aren't accustomed to Auggie."

You can send in your questions for R.J. Palacio by emailing backseatbookclub@npr.org, or tweeting them @nprbackseat. OR you can type them in below, and I can submit them on your behalf. NPR might ask your question during an interview!
