What's Going On at the MHS Library
We some exciting new editions to the library this year. Our cataloge is online now, so students and parents can see our entire collection. We have also upgraded to Accelerated Reader Enterprise service, so now all quizzes are available for all Milford students, even if the school doesn't own the book! We have also added two flip video cameras that can be checked out for the day to make exciting interactive videos. All of these features can accessed at the Library website. Just google "Milford High School Library" and we're the first site to show up.
The book fair is also here at the library this week. We'll be open all blocks and lunches Oct. 4th - 8th and Monday night for open house. Stop by and buy a book; all proceeds benefit the library.

I'm back
I haven't posted for awhile, so I thought I throw this question up here and see what you have to say. So here it is, "If you could add one thing to the library, what would it be?" Leave me a comment to let me know. We're always looking for new ideas.

My Favorite Book
We're starting the My Favorite Book project at the MHS library. We're asking all and any students to take our survey about what they're favorite book is and why. Everyday students ask the question: "What should I read?" Sometimes we match them with the perfect book, sometimes we don't. Now you have the opportunity to help others find that perfect book! Take a moment to complete survey, because the only thing more fun than reading what you love is sharing it with others! Take the survey here.
I'll get the ball rolling for you. Here is my favorite book.
My Favorite Book is A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway. As a teenage, I always dreamed about traveling to far away places. At the time, I'd never traveled much further than the borders of Pennsylvania. An English teacher, Mrs. Rencil, suggested that if I was really interested in travel I shoud read this book. It depicts Hemingway's time in Paris in the 1920's. I loved it.
From that moment on, I knew I would one day travel to Europe. During my junior year of College I finally made that dream come true; I studied in Nancy, France and over a weekend traveled to Paris. Although 70 years had passed, many of the places that Hemingway wrote of were still there. I traced his steps, sat in bars where he wrote, and bought a copy of the book from his favorite book store, Shakerpeare and Co. I've returned four times since, and this spring I'll return again.
This book made me a traveler. And over the past ten years, I've taken hundreds of students with me. So if you love travel, and can't afford to do it right now, read this book. It's the next best thing.
Books that are like this one: To Have and Have Not by Ernest Hemingway; Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt both books have amazing depictions of their settings. Even though the settings can be brutal, they somehow make you want to go there.
