Last night, the seventh and eighth grade Nook Book Club met to discuss Freedom Writers Diary and to watch the movie adaptation starring Hillary Swank. Kudos to the Nooksters for continuing to read during the summer and for showing up on the right day, at the right time without Mrs. Nolte to remind them at school! :) I was a little nervous that the book would be a difficult read simply because it was broken up into so many different diary entries by different authors, but the kids had no problem with the format. They liked the movie, but they LOVED the book.
I was also pleasantly surprised by how much teens have already been reading for Summer Passport. We have some serious readers in this town! I am thrilled that 24 teens have already signed up for Summer Passport. We are currently out of passport books, but don't worry, more have been ordered. (What a great problem to have!)
Following book club was an informational meeting about the book trailer competition. If you missed it, don't worry, you can also come next Thursday from 5:30 to approximately 6:15. (But remember, you MUST attend one of these sessions to take part in the competition.) We will have a workshop on Wednesday, June 15 to take photos and video for your book trailers. If you have already finished a book in these first 10 days of June that you want to do your trailer on, meet at the library at 10:00 on Wednesday to get started on your project.
HAPPY READING!
