ATTENTION JUNIORS AND SENIORS- SAT Prep has started.
Our library is stocked full of SAT practice and prep books. Most colleges want SAT scores and if you might even be able to take them for FREE. See your guidance counselor for more information and throughout the next month, I will be holding little SAT boot camps to help you prepare.
Mr. Bott's Book of the Week: The House of Tomorrow by Peter Bognanni.
I know I've said this before, but this is the craziest book I've ever read. It's about triangles, love, punk rock, living in a dome and....well, just check out the trailer....
Happy National Library Week! ANNND WHAT A WEEK! We have new Hunger Games movie news!
Let me start with that because I just saw the trailer and fist pumped to myself (again, because I'm a nerd). Catching Fire is the second book in The Hunger Games series (available at the SCLA Library). A bunch of students and teachers went to The Hunger Games movie last year we loved it, so I was super excited to see the new trailer. It follow Katniss and Peeta as they start touring The Districts (because of course they BOTH SURVIVED and may or may not be in looooveeee). But, as always, things get a little crazy when the plot to kill Katniss and anyone she holds dear starts to unfold.
SOOOOO with this news, what do you think my Book of the Week is going to be? Catching Fire of course!
Read it before the movie comes out! I always like to compare the book to the movie as, most of the time, things change. Let's hope they don't change much because Catching Fire was my favorite book of the series.
Pssst...You...yeah you! REGENTS are right around the corner. Don't get caught off guard, pick up some practice Regents books in the library today!
Welcome back everyone! Hopefully you are rested from your spring break and now that it is warming up outside, I thought this book would be appropriate for my Book-o-the-Week! The Mutt: How to Skateboard and Not Kill Yourself.
I used to skateboard back in the day and I've always idolized Rodney Mullen. The man is a magician on a skateboard and this autobiography offers an insight as to how he got started and why he stuck with it even though he was encouraged to quit
Below are some of the tricks Mullen invented and refined over the years. This book will even give you some pointers when you're out there skating.
