Another reason why I love my job!

Some of you may have already seen the stunning picture (of a shoe, of course) Tristen gave me before the break - it is absolutely gorgeous!  I am continually amazed by the talent within the walls of Rivier!  Well, I had it framed and it will be on display in the library this week and then will have its permanent home on my living room wall.
Tristen, what an awesome gift - I will treasure it always and think of you every time I look at it in years to come!  Thank you so much.  You are such a talented artist and I am so proud to have one of your "early works" hanging on my wall!

An awesome young woman!

I was looking at a few blogs and websites last night and came across Hey! Teenager of the Year by Australian Steph Bowe.  She just turned 17 this month and wrote Girl Saves Boy when she was 16!  From the summary and reviews I read, it sound like a really good book and I think it would be a great addition to our library.  Look it up and see what you think.  I'm also going to post a video of an interview with the author because it is quite an accomplishment to write and publish a novel when you're still a teenager.

I'm also adding some links to more blogs and websites under my "useful links" so have another look if you haven't checked lately. (They're located under the shoe hat photo on the right side.)
Finally, junior book club will be cancelled this week due to the teacher appreciation lunch on thursday. We'll just have more to talk about next week, girls!
