The Narnian Chronicles

We have just received a classroom set of "The Narnian Chronicles". These are lovely books. All seven of the books are contained in one volume. It is hardbound so it will endure multiple uses. We have had so many of the students ask if they can be checked out. Please keep checking back. When they are done in the classroom, they will be available for individual checkout. CCB

Inside the Kingdom

I had looked forward to reading Inside the Kingdom by Carmen bin Laden from the time it came into our library. Having read it, I can tell it was written by an untrained author. It has some important perceptions to share but it is also redundant, almost to a fault. I'm glad I read it but I don't know that I would read it again. Would I recommend it? Yes. It is worth reading just not twice. CCB

Alas, Babylon

Published in 1959, Alas, Babylon was written during the Cold War between Russia and the United States. As I read this thought provoking book, it caused me to reflect on the potential for disaster in our own generation and what would ensure survival. While many approach a nuclear holocaust as unsurvivable, I, personally, prefer to believe that there is hope and that mankind would survive, regardless of how difficult. This book showed the potential. Now, can we apply the theory and learn from the imagination of others? This link will take you to the "cliff notes" version of Alas,Babylon CCB
