Teen Tech Week @ Your Library
The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) of the American Library Association (ALA) has designated this week as Teen Tech Week. We won't be celebrating because CCHS library, like many libraries across the country, is closed this week for testing.

Children's Books Win Big at the Oscars
Two children's books made into movies won Oscar Awards. The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick was made into the movie Hugo which won several Oscars. Also, the children's book The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore by William Joyce was made into a 15-minute short film which won for Best Animated Short Film.
Finally, it hasn't won an Oscar yet, but the YA novel The Hunger Games, which has been made into a movie will open March 23rd. Readers of all ages will be there waiting for their favorite characters to come to life. Might be as big as the Twilight films. You think?
