Book Club Holiday Luncheon
The ELGS High School Library Book Club recently got together and enjoyed a holiday luncheon. The group enjoyed awesome chili - (prepared by Maria McNamer Tyler's Mom) cheese, crackers holiday cookies and ginger ale. Mrs. Hatas handed out copies of Angela's Ashes which is the book that was chosen for the next discussion which will be on January 31st. If you are interested in joining the next discussion please let Mrs. Hatas know and she will get you a book. We are always looking for new members - students, staff, parents and community members.
Classic Read Contest
Read a Classic win a classic! The High School Library will be sponsoring another reading contest during the winter months. Please stop in the library to pick up a copy of the rules and most importantly, browse the shelves and choose a "classic read". We have 5 book bags illustrated with classic book designs - each bag will have a new paperback classic novel tucked inside as prizes.
Good Reading and Good Luck!

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
by Mark Haddon
review at this website; http://www.amazon.com/Curious-Incident-Dog-Night-Time/dp/1400032717
Copies were ordered and are available for pick up at the Elkhart Lake Public Library. You will need a library card; applications are available in the HS libary if you do not already have one. I would be willing to pick up the book for you if you are unable to get to the libary on your own. However, you will still need a library card and will be responsible for the book upon check out. Books returned to me on the day of the discussion will be returned to the library, otherwise you will be responsible for return on your own.
We are all looking forward to our first discusson and hope to have many more to follow.

The decision was made to discuss 4 books in a normal school year. Discussions will be held after school (2:51-3:35) releasing in time for students who need to take the late bus home.
The following titles have been suggested for our first discussion (tentatively scheduled for Thursday Feb 3)
Balzac and the Little Chinese Princess
Turtle Warriors
Looking for Alaska
Whale Talk
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
The Book Thief
Water for Elephants
Descriptions and reviews of these titles are available on Amazon.com
Stop in to the library and vote for your preference of title and/or suggestion of meeting date for the book discussion.
Anyone wanting to participate needs to let me know by Monday so that I can order the number of books needed from our local public library. I would like the book in your hand in time for the holiday break.
Thanks for your involvement and... Keep Reading!
