#bookaday July 29-Aug 1: Parentology, DrumsGirlsDangerousPie, From Dead to Worse and a book that highly offended me

I read a book this week that completely in every way offended me. Pushed me to the edge. Made me angry, sad, frustrated, and worried/concerned for people, like the author, that believe and profess the same dogma/propaganda.

It's good to read things that offend you. I often tell students and teachers that a good library has something to offend everyone. We live in a great country where everyone is allowed to have their own opinions and feelings about everything--and they can write about it.

I choose to take this experience and use it for the positive. Boundaries need to be set. How I feel needs to be considered. I have to move on with things and not let it affect me so much that I cannot get beyond it.

Students when you read something that you do not like or agree, as far as your personal beliefs or ideas are concerned, can you use that as a positive or negative experience? The choice is up to you.

I am slowly making my way through the Golden Sower list this summer.  I know...its almost the end of the July.  School starts in like three weeks...but Golden Sowers have not been top priority this summer for me.  Not sure why.  Of course I still have three I didn't read from last year's list as well.  Maybe I get to them, maybe I don't

In the middle of Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Gratz.  Pretty amazing account.  Pretty sad account.

Had the library opened today for students to check out books this summer.  I have one more week to be open.  I will be reflecting about what I thought about this little summer project starting next week.

July 15-19
