Everlife by Gena Showalter My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is the greatest dystopia ever and I have learnt more from it than any other series, including Harry Potter. Read this god damn series, please.

The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James My rating: 5 of 5 stars MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE BOOK: This book was EVERYTHING. I can’t believe the road it took. It was my perfect sci-fi romance, and then the 50% mark hit and it became my new favourite thriller. I am reeling after reading [...]

This is the sweetest teen library event I’ve ever seen. I wish my library did this!
December means dark and chilly nights, lots of gingerbread treats, and more patrons in the library because of finals. Our library completely fills up near the end of the semester. Every table and outlet is used after school and other patrons are left to find another place to study. I started holding special study sessions for teens at my library after noticing how many high school students were leaving the library to go elsewhere because there was no room for them. Lots of teens would come to the library after school only to find that there was nowhere to sit. I hated seeing my target audience leave after making the effort to come to the library.
What is it?
An example flyer for Hogwarts Study Hall. Include a brief description of the event and theme.

Last week, I read Once and for All by Sarah Dessen. It's all about weddings [...]
Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco My rating: 2 of 5 stars MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE BOOK: This was an interrupted read for me, so excuse the reading dates. Overall, I couldn’t engage with this. CHARACTERS/DYNAMICS: - honestly… who cares PLOT: - this book was dull the entire time. Maybe mysteries aren’t for me. [...]
