Join me in reading the teen books we've picked for the community-wide program "Get Inspired! Meet a Hero @ Your Library." The program will run February through April 2008 and is coordinated by the Champaign Public Library in Champaign, Illinois.
The books for February are “Wabi: A Hero’s Tale” by Joseph Bruchac, “Usagi Yojimbo, Book 1: The Ronin” by Stan Sakai, and “The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkien. Middle school students are invited to an in-person book discussion meeting at the library on Monday, Feb. 4, at 7 pm to talk about “Wabi.” High school students can share thoughts about “Usagi Yojimbo” on Monday, Feb. 11, at 6:45 pm. No registration is required and we've always got cookies--come!
What do you think of the first month’s choices? What books would you have chosen and why? Let your voice be heard about the inspiring books you've read.
--Betsy, Teen Librarian
