Do you have what it takes?

First of all, Dale and I would like to welcome you back after what we hope was a great summer. Upon entering the library, besides our display, you will be able to check over 300 new books to start the new school year. Of course, more books will appear on the shelves in the upcoming weeks so, if you don't find something you like, come to us and we will do our best to help you out.

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES? Yes, this is the catching phrase from the classic video game Zelda. Since its debut in 1987 on the old Nintendo 8-bits system, it has quite evolved. Link, the super hero has so many things in common with you that we thought that we would point out his qualities and abilities. Who would want to start an adventure to save the Princess with only a wooden sword and shield? Link, of course, because he doesn't lack courage and he is persistent. (Remember those castles and dungeons?) He knows how to use his brain but, most importantly, he never quits.


A good video game is like a good book. If the story is good, it will stay and still maintain its popularity. I would like for you to think of great books that became movies and video games. We will talk about it later. We will try to link information on different aspects of the video game industry with movies too.

Getting through High School is like being the hero of your own quest and the prize at the end is not saving the world but getting your diploma. In a way, getting your diploma will change your world and help you get the life you deserve.

Our display will change through the next 6 weeks and we hope you will come to check it out frequently. We will also have a draw of the fabric banner of Link and of one of the posters you can see on the display.
