New books

Hello! It has been a scene of activity and organized chaos here at the Paradigm Library as we have worked to catalog and shelf a large donation that we have received from one of the schools here in the valley. Our research collection is growing so we have a beginning collection to offer our students.

We have also just cataloged 2 new classroom sets; "Shane" and "The Light in the Forest". Both of these classic tales have been read and loved by children of past generations and we are excited to be able to share them and their lessons with the rising generation.

"Shane" is the story of a professional gun-fighter that has gone straight and the influence that he has on the life of a young man. Moreover, the young man has a profound influence on the gunfighter and both lives are enriched by the relationship.

"The Light in the Forest" is the story of a young boy captured by Indians and raised in their culture. Then, because of a treaty 11 years later, the young man is returned to his native culture. The story deals with those adjustments and how this child, caught between two worlds, deals with events that are out of his control.

We would encourage you to read these two newest additions with your student. They are both great family stories and make a great way to involve the whole family.

Happy reading!
