Candice Packer BAHS Library Media Specialist  cpacker@basd.net (814) 355-4833 ext. 8510  My Professional Portfolio Welcome to my Wikispace! I am so excited about the new additions to the library this year: books, DVDs, digital voice recorders, Nooks, waterproof video/still cameras, and so much more!

I read a lot about the best literature out there, so if you are not sure what you would like to read next, let me know and we can find something that I bet you will love! Challenge to my "I-hate-to-read" students- we will find a book for you! I guarantee it...give me a chance!


 * Share your favorite books with me and we will post them so that other students can read your reviews. It sometimes helps to know what others think. Your suggestions and input makes this all the better!


 * My latest read: //Jasper Jones//- Great story of Aussie teens that get tangled up in a mysterious scandal about family, trials, revenge, and hope. I really liked this award winner!


 * What I am listening to- The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn- special reading by Elijah Wood (Audible). Elijah does an awesome job and pulls the reader right into the story!

 * Currently my favorite site- it shows newspaper headlines across the country! Check it out! [|Newseum]: []
