The trailer is professionally created, has sound, animation, and all of the elements of a spy thriller! Check it out! (And be sure to send us any that you discover, too!)

Real Men Read! Grand Debut

West Monroe High School's Real Men Read program debuted this week during Teen Read Week. Posters decorated the boards and surrounding walls outside the library.

"WMHS Rebels Read" Book Blog Debuts

We debuted our high school's first blog, "WMHS Rebels Read" today during Teen Read Week. The URL is http://rebelsread.blogspot.com/
It is a moderated blog that will allows students and teachers to post comments about what they are reading. We sent out flyers to the English teachers to post in their classrooms to help encourage students to participate and invited the English teachers to become charter blog members. We hope this will become a forum for book discussion and provide a means of sharing great reads.

"Get Johnny Reading!"

Does anyone know of a graphic novel that is subscription-based like a magazine? I read somewhere that you could subscribe to one that would be sent each month/weekly, etc. that could be checked out like a magazine. Anyone know about these?
Also, has anyone ordered graphic novels or other books from Markin? On lm_net today someone wrote that this company is the one they order hardbound graphic novels from. I am not familiar with this company.

"Fact: The average comic book introduces children to nearly twice as many new words as the average children's book and more than five times as many as the average child-adult conversation." (1993 study published in The Journal of Child Language.)
