Since the IMC staff was relatively on their own this week, we got a lot of new books ready for checkout. It was rewarding to see several empty spots on the new book display shelves as students started to grab up the new books. Some of the new fiction titles still available are: Firestorm, by David Klass, a heart-pounding action book with fantasy and environmental themes (I want to read this one.); Miss Spitfire, by Sarah Miller, an inspiring look at teaching Helen Keller through the eyes of Annie Sullivan; and Ghost in the Machine, by Patrick Carman, a journal noting the search for answers to the strange happenings in a small town. 
If you prefer nonfiction you might want to look at: Storm Scientist, by Timothy R. Gaffney, which looks at the study of storms through the careers of scientists; John Madden's Heroes of Football, by John Madden, a history of football, its special teams, and important players (Mrs. Wilson liked this one.); or Trouble Begins at 8, by Sid Fleischman, a biography of Mark Twain which focuses on his life in the wild West. All of these books are currently available on the New Book shelves by the windows.
