Gatsby Enthusiasts, Listen to This!

It's been great that the recent release of Baz Luherman's Gatsby movies generate  some popularity for F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel among  O. Henry students.  We're all impatient the movie here at the O. Henry Library, so here's Florence + the Machine's "Over the Love"--the newest release from Jay Z's Gatsby  soundtrack--to tide us over.

O. Henry readers had been hard at work both finding sponsors and reading pages for the Book Spring Read-a-Thon. In the pictures below you can see O. Henry students getting to see their time and energy pay off as they had the opportunity to take a field trip to participating elementary schools and share their love of reading with deserving boys and girls! Great job, Mustangs!

After AISD decided to cut two-thirds of the school librarian positions in Austin, Ms. Stevenson responded by advocating for the vital importance of librarians in our schools. Ms. Stevenson's defense of school librarians inspired parents, teachers, students, librarians and the Greater Austin community to stand up to the district and save these librarians' jobs. Ms. Stevenson was given the Branding Iron Award in recognition of her efforts.

    Austin may be weird, but reading definitely is not.
