This is a list of the acceptable Accelerated Reading books shown on the Marathon Middle/High School website. These "Biography" books are for 9th grade youngsters.
By the way, since the AR List is so long, I had to break it into a separate list for each grade and "Type" of book. Adventure stories are together, history stories are together, mysteries are together, & so on.
I originally tried to make it quick and easy for you to request a book, but I discovered that the blogging software can’t handle all those tables and/or hyperlinks. Blogger kept saying that there’s an error because the page size is too great for Blogger to handle. Oh well, no more hyperlinks directly to every book. Sorry about that.
Instead, if you use Firefox as your browser, you can:
* Open a separate Tab for Marathon Library’s web site
* Highlight the title you’d like from this list
* Paste it into the library’s “Search Title” box
If the Monroe County Libraries have that title, you’ll be able to Request it by clicking on the "My Account" tab at the Library's web site, 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 Monroe County library card, don’t worry. Look over in the right-hand column of this page, under the “Links” heading for Parent's Permission Slip for a child's library card at Marathon Library. Print the form, fill it out, and return it to us the next time you come to the Marathon Library, and we’ll give you a card. Then you can order all the books you want.
Pick out a bunch of books, start reading, and ENJOY!!
