Welcome to the Ensworth Librarians Blog. We hope to keep this interesting and informative with the goings on at all three libraries and some muses from our librarians.
The High School Science department is participating in the National Endowment for the Arts Program "The Big Read." (links on the right sidebar) All our ninth graders will be reading Ray Bradbury's classic- Fahrenheit 451 during the month of February. What a wonderful book. It brought back memories of the past when I taught a winter-term course to some international students at a boarding school on the east coast. We had such interesting discussions when we looked at the technology descriptions within the book and replaced it with plasma screens and ear-phones so many of them had. We also discussed various forms of censorship. I am very interested in listening to the discussions that will take place on our campus to compare the insights from the two groups. - JMB
