  1. Beat the Drum, Pum-Pum
    Ashley Bryan
    Don't let this weird name fool you, this new addition to the library is pretty good. It tells stories of how things are the way they are, usually by including animals. These African stories can even give lessons(kinda like fairy tales) that could help later on in life. For instance, 1 story shows how if you do good things, good things will come to you. Try reading one of the new books in the library, and you may find yourself enjoying it. -Lizzy B. 6th Period
