  • 5.0-6.0 the Lost Gate Card, Orson Scott 5.8 Danny North Knew From
    5.0-6.0 The Lost Gate Card, Orson Scott 5.8 Danny North knew from early childhood that his family was different, and that he was different from them. While his cousins were learning how to create the things that commoners called fairies, ghosts, golems, trolls, werewolves, and other such miracles that were the heritage of the North family, Danny worried that he would never show a talent, never form an outself. He grew up in the rambling old house, filled with dozens of cousins, and aunts and uncles, all ruled by his father. Their home was isolated in the mountains of western Virginia, far from town, far from schools, far from other people. There are many secrets in the House, and many rules that Danny must follow. There is a secret library with only a few dozen books, and none of them in English — but Danny and his cousins are expected to become fluent in the language of the books. While Danny's cousins are free to create magic whenever they like, they must never do it where outsiders might see. Unfortunately, there are some secrets kept from Danny as well. And that will lead to disaster for the North family. The Gate Thief Card, Orson Scott 5.3 In this sequel to The Lost Gate, bestselling author Orson Scott Card continues his fantastic tale of the Mages of Westil who live in exile on Earth in The Gate Thief, a novel of the Mither Mages. Here on Earth, Danny North is still in high school, yet he holds in his heart and mind all the stolen outselves of thirteen centuries of gatemages.

  • Spotlight on Learning Adelia M
    Spotlight on Learning Adelia M. Russell Library & Mamie’s Place Newsletter 318 Church Street, Alexander City, AL 35010 Hours: 8:30-5:00 Monday-Friday; 9:00-1:00 Saturday Telephone: 256-329-6796 (Adelia M. Russell) 256-234-4644 (Mamie’s Place) — Website: www.alexandercityal.gov/library Director: Amy Huff MARCH 2020 Edited by John M. Taylor From the Director: The Alexander City Chamber of Commerce presented the annual State of the City event at Central Alabama Com- munity College’s Betty Carol Graham Technology Center on February 26, 2020. John Taylor, Assistant Library Director, and Robert Bradford, Library Assistant, represented both Adelia Russell and Mamie’s Place at the event along with library board member Sheralyn Belyeu. Mayor Tommy Spraggins and other city officials enlightened the audience on the positive aspects of the city. The renovation of the old Russell Main Office building and the progress of the new City Complex was one of the popu- lar topics shared. It is great to see historical places restored and progress being made for our City so that our City Government can run smoother and more effectively. Alexander City is a wonderful community with aspirations of progress. Its small town demeanor and welcoming charm make it a great place to live and work. We appreciate all the effort, research and elbow grease that helps produce good outcomes for this community. Robert’s Take: From the pen of Robert Bradford The American Standard version of the Bible in Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2 reads in part, “For Everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born; And a time to die…,” Authors seemingly live on for- ever through their works, but they too eventually pass from this life.

  • WRA SUMMER READING PROGRAM 2018 Western Reserve Academy Leisure Summer Reading 2018
    WRA SUMMER READING PROGRAM 2018 Western Reserve Academy Leisure Summer Reading 2018 Most members of the Reserve community find pleasure in reading. For those of us tied to the academic calendar, summers and holidays give us what we need most—time. With that in mind, we offer students this list of recommended books for summer reading. This list is intended for student LEISURE reading. We hope the variety piques student interest and provides the opportunity to expand horizons, satisfy curiosity, and/or offer an enjoyable escape. Titles include: “classics” to recently published titles, relatively easy to challenging reading levels, and a variety of genres covering diverse subjects. Also included is a list of recommended websites to locate further suggestions for award-winning books and titles of interest. This list is updated annually by members of the John D. Ong library staff. Titles are recommended by members of the WRA community or by respected review sources including the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a division of the American Library Association. A few titles have frank passages that mirror some aspects of life explicitly. Therefore, we urge parents to explore the titles your teenagers choose and discuss the book as well as the choice with them. All the books on this list should be available in libraries and/or bookstores. The Ong Library will also arrange for a special “summer checkout” for anyone interested. Just ask at the library front desk. Enjoy your summer and your free time, and try to spend some of it reading! Your feedback about any title on this list is welcome—and we also welcome your recommendations for titles to add in the future.

Also, the twists were brilliant. She goes with Maeve to raise Enzo from the dead. I knew I would be attached to it since I started it. Adelina, ah, my Adelina… you are so going to die. Then they betrayed her, so she destroyed them all. I mean… I really liked it! It is beautiful and It is dark and I loved it so so much! It's also a really diverse series Adelina and her sister are both dark-skinned woc and Adelina is vision impaired. Even if everyone else thinks it's wrong.
