Book Description
Excerpt from A List of Books Suited to a High-School Library The list difiers from others of similar character in that it is not compiled from the librarian's point of view, but from that of the departments concerned each contributing those titles which from experience have proved themselves of greatest value. An attempt has been made to select the latest editions, since they will be in print longer; to choose the least expensive works which will give full service, and to select those most attractive to the high-school mind. Thus in some lists textbook editions have been carefully avoided because to many students the appearance of the studied textbook is repellant. Well-illustrated editions have often been listed when the illustrations aid the interest in or the understanding of the text. Often the more expensive editions have been listed because of their great value to the student, though they have seldom been starred. No work has been included which has not seemed of real value to a proportion of the student body. The course of study develops the need of the book. This list is based upon the present curriculum in the University High School. As that curriculum is not vitally different from the course of the majority of high schools, the list may be of general value. The list does not represent a minimum of the books necessary for effective work, neither is it all-inclusive. Rather, it indicates the proportion of a well-stocked, practical library. Its greatest value lies, perhaps, in the fact that it forms a systematized basis for building up a working library vital to the life of the school.

Last Night at the Telegraph Club
Author: Malinda LoPublisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525555269
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
Winner of the National Book Award A New York Times Bestseller "The queer romance we’ve been waiting for.”—Ms. Magazine Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can't remember exactly when the feeling took root—that desire to look, to move closer, to touch. Whenever it started growing, it definitely bloomed the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club. Suddenly everything seemed possible. But America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone, including Chinese Americans like Lily. With deportation looming over her father—despite his hard-won citizenship—Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day. (Cover image may vary.)
