Novel-ties: New Fiction for Lit Circles
Do you lead book discussion groups or literature circles for 4th - 8th grade students? Come to this workshop to learn about hot, new, discussable fiction. We'll provide copies of the featured books for you to borrow after the event.
The Novel-ties workshop is over for this year. However, School Corps staff are available to present the workshops at inservice days or other district/school events if at least 10 people are in attendance. To arrange to have a workshop at your site, contact the School Corps Lead Worker at lib.school.corps@multcolib.org or 503.988.6004.

How can I get copies of the books on the lists?
If you have a recent version of Adobe's Acrobat® Reader® software, you will notice that the title of each item on the booklist is a link directly to that item in the library's catalog. To request the item, simply follow the link. Then click on the Place Hold button and follow the on-screen instructions, using your library card. You'll be able to choose at which library location you want to pick up the item. If a copy of the item is checked in, it will about 5-7 days for it to arrive.
If you have an older version of the Acrobat® Reader® software, you won't be able to use the links. You can either update the software, or you can print out a copy of the list and look up each item individually in the library catalog. Using your library card, you can place a hold on each item and have it sent to the location of your choice. If you haven't ever done this before, these instructions will show you how. If a copy of the book is checked in, it takes about 5-7 days for it to arrive.
