Library/Media Center

LINKS TO OTHER LIBRARIES

 Every year students are given lots of required reading assignments.  Hopefully this site will give you some new titles to read for the fun of it!
The library adds new books every week.  Some you need to read and some you will want to read.  Click on the New Books Added tab located above to see what's new this week!

The library is open Monday through Friday from 7:30-3:30.  Mrs. Daniels and I will be happy to help you pick out a book to read that you will enjoy and hopefully ignite your love of reading.  If our library does not own the book that you are looking for you may place a hold through the library's online catalog and the book will be sent to our library. http://www.awhs.org/library-media-center We receive deliveries three days a week so you won't have to wait long. 

On this site I have listed some of my favorite books by genre and also some of my favorite authors and series.
