Please click here to download a pdf of the summer 2010 reading list. We recommend that Urban students read two of the books on the list. If you are interested in purchasing the books rather than borrowing from the library, please visit our new online bookstore!

New Resource

Questia School is an amazing new resource!  It has access to over 15,000 books and articles that you can search for, read, highlight and save to virtual bookshelves. Questia is great for research in all disciplines.  To start searching, email Sarah the Librarian to get your personalized username and password.

Check out the 2010 Alex Award winning books!  Alex Award winners are books written for adults that appeal to teenagers as well.  In the library we have 2010 winners Stiches by David Small (a graphic novel) and The Magicians by Lev Grossman. 

2009 winners that you can check out include City of Thieves by David Benioff, Finding Nouf by Zoe Ferraris, Mudbound by Hillary Jordan, Just After Sunset by Stephen King, Over and Under by Todd Tucker, Sharp Teeth by Toby Barlow, and Three Girls and Their Brother by Theresa Rebeck.
