Florida Teens Read books are here!

I had such a great weekend that I do have a minor case of the Monday Blues, but the intensity is offset by the fact that (almost) all of the Florida Teens Read books are in stock and ready to read!  

This morning I started reading King of the Screwups by K.L. Going. I also passed it out to a few students who finished their FCAT Diagnostic test early, and they got into it as well. It's about a rich, popular New York City kid, Liam, whose dad, tired of dealing with his "screwup" son, kicks him out. Liam goes to live with his gay glam-rocker uncle in an upstate trailer park. So far, it's funny and smart, and I'm sure it'll only get better. 

The G-Star Book Club will be reading King of the Screwups as its first selection. As soon as I have a quick consultation with my student cohort, we'll hold a kickoff meeting and get started! Stay tuned to school announcements for details.

Keep reading! 

Does anyone really read this? Even if I get no responses, I will still keep it up!

Testing, Reservations, Travel Club & Book Club

Hello all!


Monday again! This week, we have an LTM on Thursday, so don't forget!


Unfortunately, I can't give out any lunch passes now through Wednesday because we have some tests going on in here. Once these tests are out of the way, there should be much more flexibility and openings! 


Teachers, be sure to use the Reservation Request form I've sent you. I'm hoping that the form will really streamline library scheduling and be convenient for everyone!


The Travel Club has already had a meeting, but we still need more students to enroll in the trip. This spring, we're going to Spain, Portugal, France, Monaco, Morocco and Gibraltar! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so get on it now! See me or Mr. Alkobey in J-111 for more details.


Our Florida Teens Read books should be in very soon, and we'll be able to get the Book Club started. The first meeting is just a few weeks away. Stay tuned to the school announcements for more info!


Keep reading!

Quizzes for Fun

I had another great weekend, and I'm glad to be back for a full week here. 

Miss O'Hara shared the BEM SEX ROLE INVENTORY with me, as she is discussing gender identity and role in some of her classes. It is interesting, and will yield some surprising results!  Give it a shot!

Since we're on the topic of quizzes, take a few minutes to figure out your PERSONAL DNA . Great if you are interested in psychology, even as minimally as I am.  It gives you a great visual representation of your personality.

Enjoy, and keep reading!

Short Week, Short Post

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend;  I sure did!

There will be no lunch passes for 5th Block tomorrow, September 8 or Friday, September 10.  

Also, the Media Center will be closed after school tomorrow so that I can attend the GSA meeting, as I am now the co-chair (along with Mr. Weiss)!  Please join us at 2:45 in Room J-219.

Save $$$

I love Google.  I use gMail, Google Docs and Google Calendar on a daily basis, and would have a much harder time operating the Media Center without all the Google Help.  You should check out what they have to offer.  


Anyways, this post is (slightly) more than just a shameless plug for Google.  I'm writing to tell everyone about the beauty that is GOOGLE BOOKS! There are many books that you can read fully online, and many more that you can preview.  Use this resource!  If you're looking for a book that I don't have in the library here, check Google Books.  Many textbooks are also available to read online, too.  Save your dough and find your book here!


If you are low on dough but must buy a book, HALF.COM is a great place to find dirt-cheap used books in decent condition. Remember this when you're in college, eating Ramen Noodles, wondering how you're going to come up with $175 to pay for that pesky geology book.
