Diary of a Whimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules

Secrets have a way of getting out, especially when a diary is involved.

Whatever you do, don’t ask Greg Heffley how he spent his summer vacation, because he definitely doesn’t want to talk about it.

As Greg enters the new school year, he’s eager to put the past three months behind him . . . and one event in particular.

Unfortunately for Greg, his older brother, Rodrick, knows all about the incident Greg wants to keep under wraps. But secrets have a way of getting out . . . especially when a diary is involved.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules chronicles Greg’s attempts to navigate the hazards of middle school, impress the girls, steer clear of the school talent show, and most important, keep his secret safe.

"What's Hot?" Library Bookshelf
On our library's website we have a "What's Hot?" Library Bookshelf that you can view online, but these items are also the new books that are really available in the library!  This is the link... http://www.shelfari.com/o1517341320/shelf.  It gives you a real picture of the book so you know what you're looking for when you come to the library, plus if you click on the book it will tell you a summary of it.  Very Cool! 

You may also click on the tab titled "Books and Reading" on the website to access the new materials section so that you can see what's new on video, audio, young adult books, etc. 

You can stop into the library to get your barcode and password so that you can use the online catalog to it's full advantage.  You will then be able to view what is on your account, when those items are due, if you have any fines and the amount.  You will also be able to place books, videos, etc. on hold if you see that they are currently checked out.  This is a wonderful tool if you have access to the internet, and if not you can still always call in and request what you need.   (641)482-3115

Dreamrider


Michael Terny is at his seventh school in four years and he knows that whatever he does, he will be ridiculed and pushed around. Michael is the fat kid. But Michael is also a lucid dreamer–he can recognize when he is dreaming and make the dream unfold exactly as he wants. Here he is safe and completely in control. Safe that is, until he finds the dream world and real world colliding . . . and a passage between the two promises more power than he has ever imagined. With the help of an unexpected friend at his new school, Michael plans how to use his power–to reward the good and wreak vengeance on the wicked. . . . But is Michael really in control? Nothing is quite as it seems in this book, and the shocking ending will have readers furiously flipping back to begin reading again with opened eyes.

National Craft Month

March is National Craft Month! Explore your creative side through crafts. The library offers craft books of all types, plus if you are interested in crafting something that we don't have, we are able to borrow for you what you need at no charge to you.

For those of us who already love to craft, how about trying a new crafting technique during National Craft Month; or perhaps teaching someone how to do your favorite craft. For those who don't make crafts, what better reason to start crafting? Crafting has many benefits; it can help reduce stress, bring friends closer together, and you can learn new skills also!  The library will have crafts for the young adults to do weekly. 

Check out these Great Crafting Websites:

Crocheting: Patty's Filet and Crocheting Page

Knitting: Woolworks: an Online Knitting Compendium

Metalwork: METAL WEB NEWS

Origami:  Joseph Wu's Origami Page 

Quilting: Google Directory - Arts, Crafts, Quilting
