Welcome!

I am so glad you stopped by the RBV library's blog. Here you will find information to help you with your library, research, and reading needs.

You might want to consider joining the RBV book club. It meets on Wednesdays at lunch in room 343. The club advisor is Mrs. Hendries. They are currently reading Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan.

Stop by the library to introduce yourself. I will be happy to assist you with whatever you may need from the library.

Check back often for new posts, links, helpful resource pages, and titles added to my reading list.

SSR Books

This is the time of year when many students are required to bring novels to English class for Sustained Silent Reading -- lovingly called SSR. Students often complain that they don't like reading. Not to worry, I can help you with that!

If you do not like to read, it's simply because you haven't found the right book yet!!!

Finding a good book is as simple as A - B - C.

Ask - that's what your library staff is for - just ask us to help you. We know all the tricks to find just the right book for you.

Blog, Bookmarks, and Brochures - check here for a running lists that the librarian has read that you might enjoy. Also, there are videos on the RBV Reads blog that share specific genres of books.
Additionally, on the front check out counter there are brochures and bookmarks that feature some great reads.

Catalog - every computer in the library and any internet-enabled computer off campus has access to our catalog of books. It's called Destiny, and it is your one-stop place for all things library. There are many ways to search for a book that is perfect for you. Destiny also has many links to important sites for research, information, and fun.

So don't be shy, Longhorns, come on in and get to know your library and find a great SSR book in the process.
