Welcome Back! Bott's Book of the Week + News



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.







NEWS

1. We have been going strong again this year at the SCLA Library. We set our goal of 1500 books circulated (like last year) and I'm proud to say we are 250 books shy of that with 2 months left! Great job - We have the best students here and you make me proud EVERYDAY!

2. REGENTS- Don't wait until the last minute. Regents exams are in 2 months and the SCLA library has all the test preparation materials you need. Likewise, we have tons of SAT books to help you out; remember, the SATs are kind of like your college entry test.

3. CONGRATS are in order- We just received the list of SCLA seniors accepted to 2 and 4 year colleges. I can't express how awesome it is to hold that acceptance letter in your hand and know that your future starts NOW.

4. FINALLY- Short story and poetry contest participants- your entries are due April 12th. Winners will be announced next week!
