Teen Room Book Display

Whoa, the blog hasn't been updated in so long! Don't fear, though, it will now be updated a couple times a week from here on out.

So to start with, it's that time of the month again: a new book display!

Have you ever scoured through the library shelves looking for a perfect book? 

Maybe you look at the spine label and see a title you might like, pull out the book, and then see a totally crappy cover so you put it back on the shelf. Well, next time, don't do that!

There are many great books that you are missing out on that have such old and boring looking covers. There is a desk in the teen room filled with books like this...

...and they might actually be a good read! So stop by the library and check out one of these books.

If you read on of them and you fill out a book review form, you will get a free 30 minutes computer session! 

Also, if the book turns out badly, let us know!

Teen Book Review

Chronical of a Death Fortold

by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

review by Kevin Y.

The narrator (name not mentioned) goes back to his old homeown to learn about a murder that happened 20 years later. He interviews people from the town slowly figuring our what happened the night Santiago Nasar was murdered.

He finds out that a lot of people know Santiago was going to be killed, but no one told him. The 2 people who killed him were Pedro and Pablo Vicerio, the twin brothers of Angela Vicerio. The reason they killed him was because Angela says that Santiago had taken her virginity.

 

But in the end she told a lie and Santiago was found to be killed for nothing. The story takes place somewhere by the Caribbean Sea. The characters seem to be Arab and it sounds like the story took place in the past.

Have a Dream

This is a poem that a lovely library teenager, Thora V., wrote.

Have a Dream

Stand up and say

I have a dream,

Throw off this

blanket of oppression

and scream.

So what if you're

different? Don't blaspheme

Black or white whatever your theme,

stand up and say,

I have a dream.

Your ancestors were slaves 

and started to scheme.

The ones in the south

went to the extreme.

They took away our

self esteem, and

told us, "You cannot

have a dream."

It doesn't matter if 

you're black or white,

You are unique let

your difference steem.

Stand up and say, 

"I have a dream."
