What do you want to read?





As students have begun checking out our brand new Nooks I have heard a lot about the selection of titles. Some people have found several books they would like to read, while others have been disappointed. I tried to look at many different kinds of books when I began purchasing Nook Books for our devices.But I also knew I wouldn't be able to find something for everyone. With that in mind I placed a simple, short survey in the front cover of the case. If there is a book you think would be a good addition to our Nooks please write down the title and author (if possible). While not all titles have a Nook Book available, many of today's new releases will have a Nook Book option. So let me know what you are looking for!

Nooks


The Nook Simple Touch eReader has finally made it's way to the IKM-Manning HS Library! The middle school should begin their program by the end of this week or the beginning of next. I can't believe they are finally ready!

We have 6 Nooks to check out. Due to the small number available the check out period has been set at 10 days. So if you want to read something be serious about how much time you've got because there are NO renewals and no overdues allowed. There are about 25 titles purchased for the Nook currently. Each Nook has the exact same titles loaded. If we add more Nooks to our collection they will have different titles available. If you have a suggestion for a book I'd love to hear it. There is a short informal survey in the case of each Nook, when you return the device just fill out the survey.

I'd like to say how grateful I am to be a part of a school that values both reading and technology. I hope to end this school year with positive reviews of our eReader program and am looking forward to the challenges still to come!

Happy Reading!
