Each quarter, I use a new tool to complete a quarterly report that highlights the statistics and happenings in the library. This quarter, I used Stupeflixto make a photo video slideshow. I used the Top 10 template, counting down the top 10 things in the library. You upload your images, add in text and slide transitions, and then select a piece of music and hit Produce. Very easy - and free! This could be a great tool to use with students. Final project can be uploaded to YouTube and shared.

BOOK TIP: We Are The Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson
This book has an interesting premise: Henry Denton has been abducted by aliens off and on for years. They have given him the power to press a button and save the world by a certain date. If he doesn't press the button, the world will end. But the book isn't really about that, it is about making that decision in a world where your boyfriend kills himself, a mother who struggles to make ends meet, a father who abandoned you, a grandmother with Alzheimer's, and a school that taunts you by calling you Space Boy. A thoughtful look at whether or not the world is worth saving.
