Popular Culture and History Series

Popular Culture and History Series

 

Can’t get enough Harry Potter? Do you miss Bella, Edward or even Jacob? A new book series called Wiley Pop Culture and History Series focuses on the relationship between prevalent pop culture phenomena and factual history. The contributing authors are some of the most respected experts in their disciplines, but the books are written to appeal to all readers. The series currently includes Twilight, Harry Potter and Star Wars. Although not yet published, another volume will be released, Star Trek and History, in April.

YA literature resource

I have recently discovered a really good site for YA lit and its even an YA book club!

It is called Readergirlz and its mission is to promote teen literacy and corresponding social services. They have won numerous awards and it is a really interesting site.

They describe themselves as "readergirlz is the cutting-edge literacy and social media project for teens, awarded the National Book Award for Innovations in Reading. It is a nonprofit volunteer organization."

The database that I have been working on for the library now has 4 different collections up!

There are three collections dedicated to remembering veterans that served in World War II, and another with pictures of local historical architecture.
