Do you ever have that panicked feeling on a Sunday afternoon? "My homework's due tomorrow and I couldn't get to the library yesterday!" - groan, moan and more. For your convenience the Library will be open on Sundays 2-5 p.m. starting Sunday, October 5. These hours will be available from October to May. *
Have you been looking for those Stephenie Meyer books only to find they are all checked out? Be sure to put your name on a waiting list for those titles, but don't forget about all the other books in the library - there's a wide selection of similar books for both 'tweens and teens! This list is also available in the drop-down selection of "Booklists" under "Check it out!" in our sidebar.
Don't miss new miniseries Samurai Girl on ABC Family. Based on the book series by Carrie Asai, the books tell the story of Heaven Kogo, who as a baby was the lone survivor of a plane crash and was adopted by the wealthy Kogo family. At age nineteen, she is arranged to marry Teddy Yukemura, but her wedding is crashed by a ninja that kills her brother. She escapes to find out her lavish life and family isn't what she thought it was and must train under her brother friend, Hiro, the ways of the samurai to protect herself and loved ones.
