What Fish Don't Want You to Know

Here it is anglers, just in time for the beginning of trout season, What Fish Don't Want You to Know by Frank P. Baron. Learn a few tricks before you buy your bait and secure your favorite fishing spot. With a little luck you'll have your own fish stories to tell. Post 'em on here! We, in the library love a good story....fiction or non-fiction!!

The Hunger Games

Due to student requests, we recently acquired The Hunger Games which is the first book of the Hunger Games trilogy. It introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world where a powerful government called the Capitol has risen up after several devastating disasters. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the ruthless and evil Capitol randomly selects one boy and one girl from each of the twelve districts, who are then pitted against each other in a game of survival and forced to kill until only one remains.

The library also has the second book of the Trilogy, Catching Fire. The third book, Mockinjay, will be released in August, 2010. You can be sure we'll have that available when you begin school in the fall.

Library Superstars

I just want to give a shout out to three young ladies whom I consider to be library superstars, Briana, Erinn, and Alexandria. If you want to know if a book in our library is a good read, just ask one of them...they've probably read it.

The Blind Side

Have you seen the movie The Blind Side starring Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw? It's currently playing at the Cinema Center, Williamsport and at Great Escape, Lycoming Mall. The movie is based on a new book in our library, The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis. This is the true story of Michael Oher, a homeless and traumatized boy who became an All American football player and first round NFL draft pick with the help of a caring woman and her family. Michael Jerome Oher (born May 28, 1986) is an offensive tackle for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League.  He played college football at the University of Mississippi for the Ole Miss Rebels.

Read Michael Oher's exciting true story.....and as I've said before, read the book before you see the movie!!!
