Brontë Sisters Power Dolls

Have you ever read anything written by one of the Bronte sisters? Two titles to check out are Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.

As the economy goes down, so do our budgets. I saw this on LM_NET and thought I would re-post because it's so true. Libraries benefit all people: rich or poor, black or white and in between, educated or not. We can't afford not to have them. So please - keep using them and keep supporting them. We need to share resources and libraries do just that!

Have you read any "Orca Soundings" books?

The CHS Library recently received a new book from the Orca Book Publishers called, "In the Woods" by Robin Stevenson. This quick read of 128 pages will keep you in suspense as high school senior Cameron, after he discovers a baby abandoned in the woods, tries to discover whether his twin sister Katie is the mother. You will want to read all the books in the Orca Soundings series. These contemporary stories are written so you're quickly immersed into the story and you won't want to put it down until you're finished. I have seen guys who never read come back for more. If you find you don't have time to read or you hate to read, try these Orca Soundings books. I think you'll find yourself reading once again.
