Project Success is the Library’s initiative to help your class do great things with their next project or assignment. We offer: The Library can gather materials for use in your classroom by your students. We’ll pull books on any topic, and you can pick them up at the library of your choice. Alert the Dauphin County Library System that your class will be working on a project. Have us do all the work and place selected items on a temporary reserve for your class to use in the library. Ask the professional staff at the Library for assistance with your questions.

Absolutely Truly
by Heather Vogel Frederick
6 foot tall, 12 year old Truly Lovejoy is not excited to move from Texas to “coldest winter on record” Pumpkin Falls, NH so her father can take over the family book store. She’s quickly distracted, however, by a letter she finds tucked into a first edition copy of Charlotte’s Web. Soon mysteries are unfolding all around her, and she and the friends and acquaintances she meets are solving them. The first in the Pumpkin Falls Mysteries series.

Guys read : true stories
by Jon Scieszka
From Steve Sheinkin’s story of a shipwreck whose survivors were sold into slavery to Thanhha Lai’s account of going up in Vietnam in the 1960s with 6 older brothers, all ten of these true short stories will amaze and excite readers (guy or girl). It also, as an added bonus, supports the new Language Arts standards for Common Core.
