| We finished the year with a plus in money since "Pooh" took
$73.60 from donations. I tried to purchase books especially appealing
to teens with these funds, including Reviving Ophelia and Ophelia
Speaks, the latest Pulitzer Prize book Marion Zimmer Bradley short
stories, the latest Stephen King and Dean Kooontz books. |
| Other books you might be interested in: |
| The Color of Water: A Black man's tribute to his mother. |
| Wait Until Next Year: A memoir of growing up in the 50's and the
influence of baseball. |
| Medicine: A history of healing. |
| I Was Amelia Earhart |
| The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. |
| Career Choices. |
| Slaves and Slavery. |
| We also had a windfall the last week of school when a friend of SLHS donated about 50 paperback books. Many of them I will keep (some good
sci-fi) and some of them I will trade with friendly second-hand book seller.
Also, Karol's move was profitable in the library in books, videos, and
reusable blank cassette tapes. |
| On a sad note we lost 4 videos this year plus an Alphasmart (#10). |
