Summer Loans

If you’re in the middle of a great read when the end of the school year comes around, do not despair! The HHS Library is delighted to make summer loans. Just see Ms. Moore sometime after June 16th to make the arrangements.

End-of-the-Year Due Dates

It's almost June, so graduation and exams (and summer!) are almost upon us. With time so short, we have had to change our usual 3-week loan period. Unless you make special arrangements with us, all Library materials -- books, videos, cameras, the works -- are due as follows:

• Seniors: bring 'em back by Jume 4th
• 7th-11th graders: bring 'em back by June 10th
• Staff members: bring 'em back by June June 16th

Page Turners

The Page Turners book club will meet again on Tuesday, May 20th, during 1st & 2nd high school lunches, in the conference room by the Main Office.

Come and share your thoughts about one of this month's two short stories -- either The April Witch, by Ray Bradbury, or Girls at War, by Chinua Achebe. (If you're not in school, you'll need a copy of our password sheet to make those links work....)

Also cookies!

[Next meeting, June 11th.]

Flume Winner Announced

The 2008 winner of The Flume: NH Teen Reader's Choice Award is New Moon, by Stephenie Meyer. And HHS was right on the money, since most of you voted for the winner!

Coming in second was Sarah Dessen's Just Listen, while John Grogan's Marley & Me took third.

The 2009 nomination list is already out, just in time for beach reading.
