Quotable
"I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book." ~Groucho Marx, American Comedian, 1895-1977
What are your students reading?
The most popular title this quarter is Maximum Security, book 3 in the CHERUB series by Robert Muchamore. The teenage CHERUB agents try to break a child criminal out of a maximum security Arizona prison in order to get at his mother, a weapons dealer of legendary status who has been selling U.S. missiles to terrorists. To find out more about this series, ask a student!
eBooks available through the media center's online catalog

Once you are in the catalog, look to the left and click on the Follettshelf link. This will take you to Hand's Follettshelf login page. You will need the username/password which can not be posted here, but I will send it out in an email. Like the district's Follettshelf eBooks, these can not yet be downloaded to mobile devices, although that feature will be available soon. Go check it out and leave your comments below!
