Book of the Week and Library Update!

Library update first - We are just short of 1100 books circulated for the year! That is awesome and just to give you an idea of how awesome it is, we average 4.2 books circulated per student. We have a goal of 1500 books circulated before June. Let's do this!

I am sure some of you have heard by now that we have to tighten our belts here in Schenectady. We are amongst the poorest districts in the state and we don't always get our fair share. I STRONGLY urge you to learn about how you, the student, is losing out on some serious $$$$. Our Superintendent, Mr. Spring, has put together some information here. Take some time to read, sit down with your parents/guardians and read, and find out what you can do. Without proper funding, we are going to lose some critical services.

Book of the Week - Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay

I love Shakespeare...this is not Shakespeare- but that doesn't mean it's bad, heck no! I loved this book. It's a twist on Shakespeare and Romeo and Juliet's love story which we all think is tragic, but this digs a little deeper...


The most tragic love story in history . . .

Juliet Capulet didn't take her own life. She was murdered by the person she trusted most, her new husband, Romeo Montague, a sacrifice made to ensure his own immortality. But what Romeo didn't anticipate was that Juliet would be granted eternity, as well, and would become an agent for the Ambassadors of Light. For 700 years, she's fought Romeo for the souls of true lovers, struggling to preserve romantic love and the lives of the innocent. Until the day she meets someone she's forbidden to love, and Romeo, oh Romeo, will do everything in his power to destroy that love.


OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Get it from the SCLA Library today!
