What's New at OCPL

2011-05-12T07:15:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the OCPl Teen Talk Blog! This blog has been inactive for awhile so it is time for some updates. The OCPL Card Catalog has a new look. We went "live" with our new computer system almost a month ago. Check it out if you haven't had the opportunity. There are lots of new features available for "at home" users. You are now able to renew items, reserve items, and receive e-mail notifications. You will need to contact the library to update your patron information to include your e-mail address. We can also help you get started with all the features available.
Summer Reading is just around the corner. Registration will begin on June 6 for the YA Program "You Are Here". You will be able to choose whether you want to keep track of the time you read or if you want to keep track of what titles you are reading. Don't forget that reading materials can include manga, magazines, newspapers, and listening to audio books. Weekly prize drawings will be held as well.
We are constantly receiving new YA titles. The new YA books are located on a cart near the adult new books. Can't find what you are looking for? Let us know and maybe we can order it and add it to the collection.
Stop back for more updates.

Next Good Book and Online Book Clubs

2009-01-29T13:11:00.000-08:00

Did you know that the Ohio County Public Library website has two new features to help you find new materials to read?
The Next Good Book can help you keep track of the books you have read by creating an online bookshelf. You can also see what other people are reading and share your comments about books you have read.
The Ohio County Public Library Online Book Club allows you to select a book by chosing a genre (fiction, non-fiction, teen, romance, science fiction, thriller, etc.). Once you have made your selection, you will receive a 5 minute selection of a book delivered to your e-mail account Monday through Friday. By Friday, you will have read the first chapter or two from the book. If you want to read more, just stop in the library and check it out.
Can't find the book you want? stop by our Reference Desk and our knowledgeable staff can help. Our staff is trained to help you find a book that fits your interests. If we don't have the title you want, we can Interlibrary Loan the title or even order it! When it arrives, we will hold it for you and call to let you know you can pick it up. If the book you want is already checked out, we will reserve it for you. When it becomes available, we'll call and let you know.

Burn My Heart - Beverly Naidoo

What does it mean to be loyal?
Mathew and Mugo, two boys-one white and one black-share an uneasy friendship in Kenya in the 1950's. They're friends even though Mathews dad owns the land and everything on it. They're friends despite the difference in their skin color. And they're friends in the face of the growing Mau Mau Rebellion, which threatens British Settlers with violence as the black Kenyans struggle to win back their land and freedom. But suspicions and accusations are escalating and an act of betrayal could change everything.

Then she gets one, in the form of a mysterious drawing. Determined to find Nina, Ellie takes off on a crazy, sexy, cross-country road trip with the only person who beieves she's got a chance-her hot, adventurous new crush.
