For each of the past 4 years the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has awarded our libraries with a "We the People Bookshelf" - a collection of books to add to our library. From their website:
Each year NEH identifies a theme important to the nation's heritage and selects books that embody that theme. This collection of theme-related books is the Bookshelf. In addition to introducing young readers to good literature, the Bookshelf promotes understanding of abstract or general ideas through the power of particular stories.The 2007-08 Bookshelf books are now on display in the libraries. Students who read and conference on these books with their English teachers may earn extra credit toward their required reading pages. See Mrs. Clothier, or your teacher for more information.
What pursuit could be happier than a good book? Send us your thoughts and reflections on this fabulous collection of books.
