One Book, One School Book Discussion Group

The Westmont High School Media Center is announcing the beginning of the, "One Book, One School" program where we have fun discussing interesting literature. The first title in this program will be, Uglies by Scott Westerfield. This book was the 2007 Abraham Lincoln Award Winner for the Illinois School Library Media Association sponsored event, and was chosen by Illinois High School students for it's interesting subject matter and literary merit.

Come join us at the Westmont, Panera Bread on Wednesday, July 16th at noon and Monday, August 18th at noon to discuss this great book. Come to Panera Bread after the Map Training, and have some "food for thought" with your lunch or snack purchase. If you need a copy of the book to get started please see Ms. Sabio in the Media Center. Thanks
