Here we go! On Monday, the 2010-2011 school year begins! Students will start visiting the library and checking out books on Tuesday, August 24th. All students in grades 1 - 5 will visit the library sometime during the first week of school. I can't wait to see everyone! I know they will be SOOOO excited to visit the library!

I am reading The Red Pyramid, by Rick Riordan. It's a new book that came out this summer. Riordan is the author of the Percy Jackson (Lightning Thief) series. This book features Carter and Sadie, who are siblings that have grown apart. Sadie has been living with her grandparents, while Carter has traveled the world with his father, Dr. Julius Kane. After Carter and Sadie's mother dies under mysterious circumstances, Dr. Kane decides to take both children on a private tour of the British museum. Nothing is as it seems, because Dr. Kane disappears and Carter and Sadie are kidnapped! Can't wait to keep reading and find out what happens next!
