Twilight Madness!

Today's Bagels & Books was huge success! With a turn-out of over fifty students, staff, parents, and community members, Twilight clearly made an impact.

Many participants have completed Stephenie Meyer's four-book series (and some have read her incomplete re-telling of the first book online) and had to be sworn to secrecy about the characters' extended storylines. Still, some information slipped inadvertently as energetic readers burst at the seams to debate and discuss the novels.

With enthusiasm for Bagels & Books at an all-time high, librarian Cathi Howell introduced the next book, Three Cups of Tea. This piece of non-fiction is a big departure from the rabidly-consumed Twilight, but the story and message are too important to miss. For more information about Three Cups of Tea or to participate in the online discussion, visit Mrs. Howell's Bagels & Books blog.
