New Books, Donations and the Booksale

Just a few new titles are coming up soon:
The Struggle by L. J. Smith - Two vampire brothers struggle for the love of one beautiful young high school girl, who craves excitement. Vampire Diaries vol 2.

Blue Moon by Alyson Noel - Ever depends on Damien to guide her in the use of her newly discovered powers; when she discovers that as her powers are growing, his are fading, she is forced to make a wrenching choice. Immortals vol 2.

Alphas by Lisi Harrison - select teen girls are invited to join the exclusive and futuristic Alpha club, where they are forced to compete to maintain their standing.

Shonen Jump - both the December issue should be up very soon, and following in the next week or so, we've added a large number of gift copies of older issues, either filling in gaps in our collection or replacing worn and torn issues. Thank you to whoever gave them to us! We appreciate it.

Which reminds me - if you have graphic novels, manga, anime or other teen books that you are "done with" - that have been cared for and are only gently worn - I would be THRILLED to take a look at them, and decide if they can be added to our collection. Every year the library adds thousands of titles to the collection which are donated, but I get VERY few teen titles, let alone anime or manga.

Remember, even if I cannot add them to the collection for various reasons (they are duplicates, they're too worn, they're too old, etc...) they still go to the booksale, where we raise money for the Library. The Annual Friend's Booksale is THE reason we have Teen Game Night every summer - they bought the equipment we use.

And then the last thing I want to remind you about is the BOOKSALE itself - coming up very soon, November 12-15 at the HOT Fairgrounds. Read more about it here.
