Even though it's not summer yet, and all these poor Uni students still have Finals to get through, the Seniors' last day is THIS FRIDAY, MAY 15. I've gotten to know a lot of them, and I'll miss them. I wanted to give them some summer reads before they left. (And, as of this post, TWO have already been checked out. Considering the display has only been up since Thursday, that's a good goin'-rate around here.)
The theme of this display is Summer Reads. There are a lot of summer love stories out there, but I didn't want to just focus on those. I also chose some island books: classic (The Mysterious Island, Robinson Crusoe), survival (Lord of the Flies), and futuristic (Nil). I put our big Woodstock book on display, hoping some music-loving students would want to flip through its pages to learn more about the Summer of Love. And, there are also some books that take place during the summer, which are just really good stories (A Beautiful Lie). I was excited to also offer two excellent summer/beachy graphic novels for the display, This One Summer (which was checked out so quickly that it's not in the photos) and Robot Dreams, respectively.
I hope you have a lot of summer reading on your to-do list for the next couple of months. Remember, even if you don't get a summer break, it should still be a time of rest and rejuvenation. I hope you get some time to yourself to rest, rejuvenate, and READ!
