US. Historical Fiction trailers

If you are looking for a historical fiction book that matches are 8th grade history units, check out these trailers.  Many of these are student made so the quality varies.  However, for those that love video trailers, ENJOY!

New Arrivals

New Books

    Two boxes of brand new books arrived on Thursday afternoon.  I am delighted to say that by Friday afternoon almost all of the fiction had been checked out and even some of the nonfiction selections.  I can't wait to hear the students thoughts on the new titles.  Visit UMS OPAC (catalogue) to find some great books.
