Need a book to read?

Here's a handful of book trailers of some of the new books that have come into the library lately. Haven't seen a book trailer before? It's like a movie trailer, but for a book.

Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma

Are you intrigued? We'll be discussing this one at our July 28 Teen Book Club discussion. Pick up a copy at the desk. Not only will we discuss it -- we'll be chatting with the author, too.

Blood Red Road by Moira Young

This post-apocalyptic/dystopian novel will be one you want to pick up if you loved The Hunger Games. Saba, the main character, might be more of a tough girl than Katniss.

Divergent by Veronica Roth

This fast-paced dystopian is another one fans of The Hunger Games will want to read, and this one's even set in Chicago. It's kind of cool to read about places you might be familiar with.

Stupid Fast by Geoff Herbach

This is one of my favorite books in a long time -- it's set in Wisconsin (near Platteville) and is a great book for guys and girls. Felton's a hilarious and relatable main character.

9th grade book talks

Hear about a bunch of books lately at school? Can't remember the title or want to look through the list of books for ideas of what to read? Look no further -- here's the presentation from the 9th grade book talks at Delavan Darien High School. These books are appropriate for high school readers and older. And yes, you can play around with the presentation all you want to. It's no ordinary power point. If you're interested in seeing the videos shared, you can go here.
