Happy New Year from the PHS Library!
New Year, New Books. Almost all of the dozens and dozens of books donated at the Book Fair are now catalogued and ready for circulation. Our Book Fair was a rousing success. I will publish final numbers on this site in the near future, but in addition to the donated books, we earned a few thousand dollars for our library! Thanks to all of the many, many volunteers and shoppers who made this possible and helped us end 2005 in such a successful way.
At the end of 2005 we also enjoyed the company of two distinguised authors/artists - Yuyi Morales and Rick Riordan. Here's a photo of Rick, former PHS teacher, with his former student and current PHS staff member, Kiah Jeffries! We're all eagerly awaiting the second book in Percy Jackson & The Olympians series. Check out Rick Riordan's website for more information.
Coming Soon: Meet Louis Sachar, author of the award-winning Holes and many other marvelous books. He'll be at Books, Inc. in Laurel Village on Thursday, January 26th at 6:30 p.m. The sequel to Holes, titled Small Steps, comes out this month.
Did you have a birthday in the fall and forget to donate your birthday book? You know you want me to take your polaroid picture, so contact me or just browse through the birthday book choices in the hall outside the library and let me know which book you'd like to donate.
Did you read any terrific books over winter break? If so, why don't you post a short recommendation on this site. Click on the Book Reviews Permalink and follow the simple instructions. I look forward to hearing from you.
