Now for something completely different....

I know you guys are out of school, and thinking of teachers is likely the last thing on your list. But I wanted  to share this post on the Nerdy Book Club website by Marlborough's own Lynda Mullaly Hunt - I hope you've read One for the Murphys by now (if not, you must).

Fish in a Tree cover reveal

Speaking of upcoming titles - we have a bunch of prize books for various SRP contests that we got from Book Expo in NYC. Many are ARC's (Advanced Reader Copies) that aren't going to be available until later this year. So think of them as a preview!

But we also have some that were already released earlier this year, and we would love readers to find these undiscovered gems! Our first book winner on Tuesday (for playing the Scientific Scavenger Hunt) got to select a book, and chose The Crossover by Kwame Alexander. Ms Patty and I got to hear author and educator Kwame Alexander speak on a panel about diversity at School Library Journal's Day of Dialogue in NYC in May. He is one of my new favorites!

So make sure you play some of the games associated with the Teen Summer Reading Program - you never know what great gem you'll walk away with!
