Another notable new book is the popular but sad “ The Fault in our stars” together with the true story it is based upon “This Star won’t go out: the life and words of Esther Grace Earl”. Also Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card & the original Sherlock Holmes stories are among the novels enjoying a resurgence because of recent movies and TV shows.
For adults who are keen readers Good Reading magazine, www.goodreadingmagazine.com.au , is an excellent way to keep in touch with current publishing, find gifts for friends & relatives and of course find books for yourself.
These are a taste of our current library resources at EBHS, as we seek to keep students informed, entertained constructively and mentally stimulated.
