IMS Library

On Thursday, April 10th, local author Robert Fanney spoke to 6th grade students about the art of writing fantasy novels. Fanney is the author of Luthiel’s Song, a fantasy adventure. In addition, eight lucky 7th and 8th graders who wrote a paragrah on why they wanted to have lunch with the author, got to have pizza with Mr. Fanney and ask him questions about his craft. The author was kind enough to sign copies of his book after each presentation.

Welcome to the IMS Library Blog. We will post new books, contests, book talks, podcasts, and all the great things that are going on in your library.

If you know of a book that you would like to see in the library that we don’t have, feel free to comment here, or just tell your library staff.

If you would like to tell a friend about a great book you have read and liked, post it here for everyone to read.

We would love to hear from you. Check it out!

Listen to Steven’s podcast as he talks about his favorite book of the year - The Lightning Thief. After hearing about it, maybe you will want to read it too. Or, maybe you will want to tell us about the best book that you read this year and be the first of your friends to make a podcast. Either way, come on in to the library and check it out!

On Friday, April 11th, students who read at least 4 out of 10 of the Virginia Readers’ Choice books were invited to the library to vote for their favorite book in the series. Eight students were treated to donuts and juice as they cast their ballots and talked about the best books they had read this year. The students also received a certificate recognizing their participation in the program. The winner of the favorite VRC book at IMS was announced at the time and the students chose The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. Any student who has read all ten books by June will be invited to a pizza party.
