Another Impromtu Story time!

I walked past our fiction section today and noticed another impromtu story time. They looked like they were having some fun and they let me take their picture. I love seeing these mini read-a-louds. What a great thing to come into the library and cool off with a good story.

I wish everyone could see what I see here at PPL. I see good kids and teens having fun together and helping each other through reading. The kids love the attention from the teens and the teens have fun helping the kids. They learn resposibility by learning to show up on time. I'm also seeing loyalty. Several of the teens we can count on like clockwork to show up on time every day. It's a great place to be and to work. Hooray PPL!

New books!!

OK! All right, already! It came in finally. For those of you who have been waiting: Twilight by Stephanie Meyer is in. I hope you like it because just reading the cover jacket scares the socks off of me. Why you like to be scared to death is beyond me, I find life itself frightening...

We have two copies, one being on the hold shelf, and the one I'm looking at now is up for grabs. Usually when a book is popular I grab a copy and read it before I let it go, but I'll pass on this one. :)

We have many more new books in for teens so make sure you stop by the YA section and look for yourself. We are also beefing up the non-fiction YA section so check that out while you're at it. It may come in handy for school reports and it will save you a trip to the adult room.

Some of the new non-fiction books are on these subjects:

Energy Alternatives
Forensic Science
The Birth of Mathematics
The Death Penalty
Biomedical Ethics
Illegal Immigration

... just to name a few. So come on in and check it out and come by and say hey to us as well. Our desk is in the children's room but we keep our eye out for teens as well. We know how special you are and we love seeing all of the great teens in Pomona. Keep up the good work!
