All faculty and staff are invited to join the launch of the faculty virtual book club, **//PageTurners//**. Because we all live such busy and hectic lives, it is often difficult if not impossible to allot time for yet another meeting. To combat that difficulty, the TR Library would like to offer, a hopefully, viable alternate. Just find time to read, and the book club will be brought to you. At your leisure, within a predetermined timeframe, you can participate in the discussion. Participation can occur at any time during the day, at the office or from the comfort of your home. You will be able to enjoy reading with the added pleaseure of sharing the book with fellow readers without having to coordinate schedules. Our pilot launch will be with the book, //**The Five People You Meet in Heaven**// by Mitch Albom. The first posting can begin as early as October 17, 2008. The last posting for the book should end on October 31, 2008. Feel free to offer title and author suggestions for the November read.===== [|CREATE YOUR OWN WIKISPACE!]

All students also have the opportunity to sign-up for the Abraham Lincoln Illinois High School Book Award contest. The Abraham Lincoln Award is awarded annually to athe author of the book voted as most outstanding by participating students in grades nine through twelve in Illinois. The award is named to Abraham Lincoln, one of Illinois' most famous residents and himself an avid reader and noted author. Students may sign-up at the Circulation Desk in the library. Students that sign-up for the program, read a Lincoln nominee (the book is NOT about Abraham Lincoln), complete a very brief review of the book by giving a rating of 1 to 4 stars and write a one to two sentence review, will be eligible for a bi-weekly drawing for a $5 bill.
