Second
Quarter 2010
Headline (SCBC Headquarters) - Spring cleaning, literary
style! Yes, it is time to clean off and rearrange the bookshelves.
Time to donate children books to other children now that yours have
outgrown their books. Time to share those signed copies, that
are not personalized to you, with someone less fortunate, but is an
avid reader just like you!
Think about donating those books to an inner city library you've
read more than once, but now sit in a box collecting dust. Donate to
a literacy program so readers can have leisure book to practice
their skills.
Pass on the gift of literature...
Read...continuously!

In Review...
"Ms. Johnni" series...
 
Comic books by African Americas area a rare sight in the
literary world. When such gems are found, it is important to
share them with avid readers.
Geared
for the reader ages 13 and up, the Ms. Johnni series is sure
to be both adventure packed and full of encouragement.
Author
Adrian Petty uses life's issues to help Ms. Johnni find the
hope and fuel to re-energize her life. Living with purpose and
knowing just what type of impact we play in the lives of
others seems to be a message readers take away from the
first story. Finding strength to rededicate herself, Ms.
Johnni focuses on finding her lost daughter, Taylor.
Petty
offers readers encouragement through his writing; we look
forward to following Ms. Johnni on her journey.
