7.+LOL+Books+(3rd+Q.)

 Books that Make You LOL!  During third quarter-just in time for spring break- students will be exposed to all kinds of books that will make them want to "Laugh Out Loud!" The main bulletin board in the library will spotlight funny books and common texting abbreviations like LOL and ROFLOL will appear randomly all over the board. Several books will be reviewed on //[|Shelfari]// as well. Students will also be exposed to **weekly digital book talks** on the morning news broadcast that will highlight majorly funny books like the ones mentioned at the bottom of this page. There will also be a nomination box in the library so that students can voice their opinions on what book they think is the funniest book ever. Those books will appear in the showcase in the hallway outside the library.

 Students will also be encouraged to show off their comedic natures by participating in the annual, library sponsored //Open Mic Night//. This year's theme will be "Things that make you ROFLOL" Students are free to tell jokes, read funny poems, short stories, or even do a stand up routine. The crowd will have the opportunity to vote on the funniest performance. The first place winner will receive a trophy and a video of their performance will be placed front and center on the library web page. School rules and code of conduct apply to all performers and performance content.  Suggested Feature Books (More Books Will Need to be Added): 1. The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things by Caroline Mackler 2. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian by Sherman Alexie (Diverse)  3. Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green  4.
