Do you ever wander into the library and realize that you have no idea what you want to read next? Lately we’ve been trying to help readers like you find exciting new books. We’ve started up a “Spotlight On…” table in the front of the library, we have a Book Finder Binder behind Ms. Wolfram’s desk, and now we’ve even added lists of good reads to our catalog.
You’ll find these lists by opening up the library catalog and then clicking on the button labeled “Reading Lists.” It’ll look something like this:
So next time you’re looking for a good fantasy book, or a chapter book about animals, or maybe a non-fiction book about pirates, give our reading lists a try. And if you have ideas for new reading list themes, let us know!
P.S. There are candy canes on Ms. Wolfram’s desk today. Come and get one before they all disappear.

Last week we posted a sign outside the library bearing the question, “If you were stranded on a desert island and could have only one book with you, which book would you choose?” Students gave us lots of answers — some serious and some silly. (Sorry guys, “The Office” and “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” are not books.) Here’s a list of some of the books the kids — plus a few teachers – said they’d like to have on their desert islands.
The Catcher in the Rye
Travel Team
The Sea of Monsters
The Bormann Testament
anything by Anne Rice
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
Eragon series
The Roman Mysteries
a Captain Underpants book
a Goosebumps book
The Bourne Ultimatum
any Sharon Creech book
Calvin & Hobbes
Harry Potter
The Dangerous Book for Boys
So, blog readers, what do you think of this list? Is there anything you would add? Leave us a comment and let us know.
