Prom Closet Gearing Up for Another Great Season

video still shotThe library Prom Closet is getting ready for another season of glitz and glamour, and our own Elise Sheppard, teen librarian, was interviewed about it last Friday by Channel 13’s Patricia Lopez.  The Prom Closet provides dresses to teens who are unable to buy a dress or for those on a tight budget. And really, aren't we all on a budget these days?  The dresses are free and for the girls to keep. The interview will air in March just before prom season. Last year’s interview helped double the number of recipients!

Keep Track of Your Books/Reading with FictionDB and FictFact

book stack imageDo you keep a small spiral notebook full of lists?  Which books you've read, which books are next in a series, new authors you want to check out?  Or maybe you've got an elaborate Excel spreadsheet, tabbed and color-coded by genre?

Well, try out two online databases, FictionDB and FictFact, that not only let you keep track of what you have read, but also what you're reading now and what you're planning on reading.  You can search by author, title, series, and more.  Each database lets you rate the books and has an extensive new release calendar for tracking newly published titles.
