Try Our SchoolAI Book Recommender
We created an AI program that can recommend books specifically from our school catalog. Simply answer a couple prompts to begin (your grade and your interests) and watch the program do its work! Here are some suggestions for ways to narrow your search:
-Ask it for a specific genre (such as "fiction only")
-Give me more like these
-What books are like ... OR "books by authors similar to..."
Have a problem? Mr. Carter can help!
*Be aware that Mr. Carter can see everything you do on this AI program.
November library updates
It's Native American Heritage Month and we have a bunch of recommendations for you! (Peep the turkey from our scavenger hunt).
Also, the National Book Award winners have been announced. We are in the process of getting Kareen Between and James. In the meantime, take a look at some of the previous award winners and long list nominees. FYI—A Snake Falls to Earth is a fun book that also fits the Native American Heritage Month theme!
Lastly, our nonfiction graphics have moved to make more room in our graphic novel section. You can find the nonfiction books between the biography and fiction stacks.
Come Check Out a Scary Book for Halloween
A group of children investigate the threat that prompted large-scale evacuations in this powerful and dramatic companion novel to the New York Times bestselling Alone told in multiple POVs.
After an imminent yet unnamed danger forces people across Colorado to leave their homes, a group of kids including an aspiring filmmaker and a budding journalist find themselves in the same evacuation camp. As they cope with the aftermath of having their world upended, they grow curious about the mysterious threat.
And as they begin to investigate, they start to discover that there’s less truth and more cover-up to what they’re being told. Can they get to the root of the conspiracy, expose the bad actors, and bring an end to the upheaval before it’s too late?
