Mid August

AUGUST

Children's news:

There is a new Amelia Bedelia book out called 'Amelia Bedelia's First Day of School' by Herman Parish and Lynne Avril.

Herman Parish is a nephew of Peggy Parish. This is a Picture book rather than a reader and gives us a look at Amelia when she is a kid in first grade so I think it will be a fun story.

I ordered lots of copies for the library.

You should be seeing new picture books about Halloween arriving soon too, and other holiday books soon.

Teen News:

The publishers are really jumping on the 'Twilight' books popularity and coming out with more vampire stories and other spin-offs.

I just ordered copies of 'Wuthering Heights' from Harper Teen and the cover has a beautiful rose

image on it, plus a medallion on the cover that says,

'Bella & Edward's Favorite Book'. So maybe a lot of Bella and Edward fans will come to the library and want to read 'Wuthering Heights' ?

I tried to copy and paste the image but I guess it is copyrighted so I couldn't do it.

Music CDs:

I ordered a batch of music CDs that I think teens will like if they're not already getting the music from iTunes or somewhere else. These artists were some I pulled from the recent Billboard charts.

These CDs include:

Sugarland Enjoy the Ride

Sugarland Love on the Inside

Paramore The Final Riot

Kanye West Late registration

Black Eyed Peas Bridging the Gap
