Summer Reading!

This year as always NPR has a great Summer Reading List . Kepler's staff has some great recommendations , and don't forget the Palo Alto Public Library's "Book Letters" for recommended reading . Check out what the librarians are reading and write your own reviews. If you want to cross some great books off your list check out the "100 Best Books" from the critics at Time Magazine.

Students or parents who bug their children about reading should check out the reading lists on the Paly Library's READ! page. Pleasure reading is not only good and good for you, research proves it helps students perform better on those dastardly standardized tests.

Google Books has improved its interface and the ability to search within a book. http://booksearch.blogspot.com/2009/06/new-features-on-google-books.html.

If you shop at Kepler's mention Paly and we'll get 10% of your purchase. Books Inc. Town and Country also gives discounts to teachers and students.
