This is a list of the acceptable Accelerated Reading books shown on the Marathon Middle/High School website. These “Historical fiction” books are for 8th grade youngsters.
By the way, since the 8th grade AR List is sooooo long, I had to break it into a separate list for each “Type” of book. Adventure stories are together, history stories are together, mysteries are together, & so on.
I discovered that the blogging software can’t handle all these tables and/or hyperlinks. Blogger keeps saying that there’s an error because the page size is too great for Blogger to handle it. Oh well, no more hyperlinks directly to every book. Sorry about that. I was trying to make it quick and easy for you to request a book.
If you use Firefox as your browser, you can open a separate Tab for Marathon Library’s web site, www.keyslibraries.org, highlight the title you’d like from this list, and Paste it into the library’s Seach Title box. If the Monroe County Libraries have that title, you’ll be able to Request it by going to My Account and entering your card number from the back of your card.
So, get your library card ready (you’ll need your card number to request books) & decide which books you want to have sent to you. Don’t forget to pick out the proper library when you get to the Request Confirmation screen. If you come here to get your books, you’ll want to make sure it says the Pick Up Location is Marathon Library.
Remember, when the book shows up at our library, we’ll call you at home & tell you it arrived. Be sure we have your correct telephone number so we can get in touch with you. If you want to, you can call us at 743-5156 to make sure we have your correct phone number in our computer. Otherwise, how we call you when your book comes?
Oh, and if you don’t already have a
Pick out a bunch of books, start reading, and ENJOY!!
