Student Favorites
Over the summer, our students read some great books. Here are their favorites.
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han
You should read this novel because it will help you find the courage to express your feelings. Recommended by Yesica C.
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
George and Lenny had an amazing friendship. I liked how the more mature person looked out for the other.
Recommended by Anai Gonzaga
My Hero Academia
I love Manga. The plot, story line and characters are great.
Recommended by a fellow student.
Speak Out for your Freedom to Read
Celebrate your freedom to read by reading one of most challenged books of 2017.
- The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas is one of most popular books in our library. It was number 8 of the most challenged books of 2017.
- Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher is another popular book in our library that was censored. Censorship occurs all around you.
- In Imperial, Pennsylvania, Jeanette Walls' The Glass Castle was censored. 200 students signed a petition to keep the book on the high school's reading list.
- The freedom to read is protected by the First Amendment. In Texas v. Johnson, U. S. Supreme Court Justice William Brennan said "the Government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable."
