Another Dystopian title added

It seems that stories about Dystopian societies are all the go with the teens at the moment .. Hunger Games, Divergent, Maze Runner and the like.

So to keep the readers of the school happy - we have a new title on the shelf and ready for loan - 'Matched' by Ally Condie.  This is the first in a trilogy and having read it myself, it is certainly a thought-provoking book.    

Imagine living in a world where everything is decided for you: what you eat, where you live, when you die, who you love, even which poems, stories and paintings are worth keeping. The Officials who run Cassia’s society leave nothing up to choice. It makes for a more equal and controlled world. A better world. A less cluttered world. A calmer and less complicated world.
But what happens when someone starts to question the choices made for them - and worse still, wants to make their own choices?

What do you do? How do you deal with it?

New Books here

Just to let you know that we have some new books available to be borrowed. 

One is called 'Tracy Tales' and is about the Darwin Business Community and how they survived the Great Cyclone. 

Also available for staff is a copy of 'Digital Photography Projects for the Classroom'.  This will be kept with the Teacher Resource materials in my office, if anyone is looking for it.

Following a request from a student, we now have the 'Maze Runner' trilogy here and ready for loan.  Apparently there is a fourth book in the series now as well so I will be looking for that as well. 

Also, just to let you know, the DVD of the 'Maze Runner' is also available for loan across at the Public Library along with loads of other titles, so it could be worth checking out what else they have to offer.  Drop in and say Hi to Kylie and Pam.
