Little Brother

I just finished reading Cory Doctorow's book, Little Brother. It's one of the Evergreen Young Adult Book Award nominees for this year and I am trying to read all ten this fall. Scott Westerfeld's quote on the front cover says, "A rousing tale of techno-geek rebellion." and I would agree. This book stayed on my mind as I imagined another terrorist attack on our country and the consequences of a Department of Homeland Security government takeover. If you like fast-paced thrillers with a technology twist, you'll love this book. We have multiple copies in the library, reserve yours today.

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!
