Isinglass and Flume Voting Times Are Almost Here

This month, we will be finishing up our podcast series on the Isinglass Award nominated titles for this year. Voting for both this award and the Flume Award will take place in April. To listen to an Isinglass book podcast, click on "Isinglass Booktalks" on the left hand side of the library homepage.

For those Hopkinton Middle/High School teachers who are reading this, check out the teacher wiki (only available inside the school) for "websites of the week," URLs of interest that may be helpful, too!

Finally, starting this month, we will become a "bookcrossing.com" site. We will have a cart of books in the library, free for the taking, and each book will have a Bookcrossing ID number listed on the inside of the front cover. The idea is that after you read the book, you visit the bookcrossing.com site, plug in the book's ID number, and journal a brief entry about the book (anonymous - no registration required). After that, you are free to pass on the book by leaving it in another location for someone else to find. Please see the library staff for more details on this fun program, and look for the book cart to browse for free books!
