Semester Exams!

It’s semester exam week here at Lied!  Do you have a great book to read?  Remember, when you finish each exam, you’ll probably have some time to spare.  Make sure you’ve got a good book to read.  It’s a test-taking situation, so you won’t be able to talk to your friends – even quietly!  The best way to pass that time is by reading something you enjoy.  If you don’t have a book already, stop by the library tomorrow morning before your first exam.  We’ve got some great new books, come check it out!

It's here!

Next week is our Book Fair, and the books have arrived!  The selection looks absolutely fabulous!  I realize that some fairs are better than others, but I think you’ll really be impressed with the books we have to offer at this one.  Yes, there are plenty of copies of Diary of a Wimpy Kid (all 4!).  We’ve got New Moon with both covers, and lots of anime to choose from.  Stop by the library next week and check it out!

We just received our first order of new books for the school year.  They’re bright and shiny, and they smell so good!  I really believe the smell of new books beats warm cookies!  Okay, maybe that was a little bit of an exaggeration.  Stop by the library soon and check out the new selections.  Here are a few titles to tempt you – The Reformed Vampire Support Group, The Thirteenth Skull, The Skin I’m In, Blood Trail.  Hope to see you in the library soon!
