"If I was starting a library in a middle school, these are the first ten books I'd buy. In reading these books, students would be reading stories Native writers create about Native people and places. The books I list here include fiction, historical fiction, and poetry."

So, my vote is that schools have extensive digital collections for research and scholarly work, and a good selection of interesting and age-appropriate fiction and nonfiction for pleasure reading.

William's blog - starting at 14, rather than accept his fate, William started borrowing books from a small community lending library located at his former primary school. He borrowed an 8th grade American textbook called Using Energy, which depicted wind turbines on its cover. He decided to build a windmill to power his family's home and obviate the need for kerosene, which provided only smoky, flickering, distant and expensive light after dark.

This selective list provides information on more than 100 books and some magazines that have been challenged in the past decades. Each challenge sought to limit public access to the books and magazines in schools, libraries, or bookstores. Some challenges were upheld; others were rejected.

We have the City of Gold series in our library but sent on the Tithe series to Jen at NBCHS. I read both of those series and felt the second one was better at a high school. Has anyone seen the graphic novel based on Twilight?

Are we ready for this... what is now available in our libraries??? "Once upon a time - in the 1990s- e-books for children came on CD-ROMs, and for digital wizardry, offered only mouse clicks and hidden pop-up-like animations. Not anymore. Touch-screens and app stores have given new tricks to old books, and the number of new titles is blossoming."
