- One more chance for gaming this month! Thursday, 12/16, 6-7:30 p.m. As always, drinks and snacks provided. I may even try to have a special snack for Christmas.
- The book club discussion for Hunger Games is on Monday, 12/20 at 6 p.m. Hopefully those of you who got the book have been reading! And hopefully you loved it, because it's an awesome book...lol.
- Reminder: if Clark Co. schools are closed on any particular day, the library's programs are also cancelled that day. So if you don't have school the day of either of the above programs, they will be cancelled as well.
- The library will be closed on the following days: 12/24 through 12/26, 12/31, and 1/1. So if you need books to read over the holiday, come in and get them before then!
The Fortune of Carmen Navarro by Jen Bryant - Based on the opera Carmen, but set in modern times. A young West Point cadet becomes obsessed with an exotic girl he meets at a convenience store.
Payback Time by Carl Deuker - A reporter for a high school newspaper is a bit disappointed with his assignment to cover sports, but that changes when he believes he has uncovered a cheating scandal involving a senior transfer student who no one seems to know much about.
Entice by Carrie Jones - Third in a series that began with Need and Captivate, this book describes Zara's quest to rescue her boyfriend Nick from Valhalla, a mythic place where warriors get taken. Complications ensue when Zara gets pixie-kissed.
Blood Ninja II: The Revenge of Lord Oda by Nick Lake - sequel to Blood Ninja. Sorry, no description on Amazon. But check out the first book to get an idea!
Unidentified by Rae Mariz - In this futuristic story, kids go to school at "Game Centers," where learning is less important than setting fashion trends and getting high scores in games, and the most popular kids get corporate sponsors. Check this out if you liked Hunger Games and Maze Runner.
Dark Water by Laura McNeal - Set during the wildfires in southern California in 2007, this book describes the romance between a 15 yr old girl and a teenage migrant farm worker who can barely speak. This romance causes Pearl to make choices that lead to tragedy when the fires break out. This book was just named a finalist for the National Book Award.
Fixing Delilah by Sarah Ockler - All of Delilah's relationships seem to be falling apart. Then one summer, some unexpected people come into her life, and she is forced to deal with painful truths from her family's past.
Last Sacrifice: A Vampire Academy Novel by Richelle Mead - This is the sixth and last book in the very popular Vampire Academy series. Again, no description on Amazon, but check out the earlier books in the series if you haven't already read them! If the newest one is checked out when you come in, make sure to place a hold request for it at the front desk!
If that's not enough for you, we should have even more coming in soon! Come in and stock up for Christmas break!
