NEW CATALOG
Ladies and gentlemen -- introducing... our new, IMPROVED catalog! Now searching can become more fun -- and interactive. Want to see the cover of that book you're searching for? Want to add a review to that title? Want to read the first chapter or an excerpt? Well, with our new online catalog, you can do all of the above and even more! Check in to read awards lists, to check the kids catalog, or to log into your library account to pay fines (new -- online pay!), keep track of your books, or renew what you've checked out. Just be sure to log out of your account before leaving the computer.
This is a great new system -- hope you like it!

PS -- the parking garage is closed tonight. If you're coming to the library, you'll need to park on the street.

MORE NEW BOOKS
There is a HUGE pile of new books on my shelf, just waiting to be mentioned and put out to be taken out.
For starters, a few weeks ago I had a request for more books from the Charmed television series -- the ones I ordered are now here -- four new ones!
A couple more Degrassi: The Next Generation graphic novels...
Two Victoria Hanleys in paperback...
Gettin' Lucky by Micol Ostow...
The Cirque du Freak Lord of the Shadows...
A new one by TokyoPop -- Chain Mail: Addicted to You...
And I think I'll end it at that. Oh -- except for a new careers book: Cool Careers Without College for People Who Love Video Games.
Be on the lookout for more great titles coming soon!

ARRIVAL OF CLONE WARS
This is going to be a short little post, but I wanted to make sure that anyone who enjoys the Star Wars series knows that we just received volumes 5,6,7 & 8 of the Clone Wars series. I had thought for sure that I had already purchased volumes 1-4, but the catalog disputes me on that, so I'll have to soon remedy the situation. In the meantime, enjoy what we've got (two more Astonishing X-Men and another Star Wars).

NEW BOOKS
I feel like it's been a while since I've blogged new books in the collection, so here we go with a few of today's new titles:
Tips on Having a Gay (Ex) Boyfriend by Carrie Jones: Belle and Dylan, the high school's Harvest King & Queen couple, are meant to be together forever -- and then Dylan tells Belle that he's gay....
The Nature of Jade by Deb Caletti: Jade, diagnosed with Panic Disorder, finds calm by visiting the elephants at the zoo; she rigs a live zoo webcam, and then she sees a boy in a red jacket carrying a baby stop by for a visit with her elephants
What Happened by Peter Johnson: On a snowy winter night four boys go on a joyride -- a ride that turns into a hit-and-run and leaves Kyle dealing with painful new realities about life and death, abandonment, and secrets.
Dead High Yearbook by Multiple Authors: Eight full-colour short stories about typical high school students -- popular and not, nerdy and not, sporty and not, rich and not -- it all seems very typical until they all end up dead.
