Happy Valentine's Day!

It's been too long since my last post, but the weeks since Christmas have flown by in our busy library. There are dozens of great new titles being released and I'm trying to keep up. If you have a recommendation for a book for our collection, please let me know, here or in person. This seems to be the year for finishing trilogies; I've just received the final books for each of the following series:

Enclave by Ann Aguirre  (Horde)
Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi (Into the Still Blue)
Pure by Julianna Baggott (Burn)
Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick (Monsters)
Tempest by Julie Cross (Timestorm)
Shatter Me by Tehera Mafi (Ignite Me)


In the next few months, we'll see the third books for these popular series:

Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
Ashfall by Mike Mullen
Blood Red Road by Moira Young
Monument 14 by Emmy Laybourne

This is just a taste of the new books. Come in and see them all.

The new bookmarks are here and are proving to be just as popular as the last batch. We'll have one more contest for the artists in the school to design bookmarks in the last term.

Melanie Ray, a professional story-teller, visited the library yesterday to share some tales of the Middle Ages with a particular emphasis on the stories found in Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales. As always, her audience of senior students was whisked away to other times and lands for an enchanting hour.
