Like you, I've never seen the adult fiction or non-fiction sections of our library. I merely take it on faith that they exist. So glad for online catalogs that allow me to put things on hold.Melanie Bettinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12557248434888642114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268877237940592285.post-19751692607330754242010-06-08T14:07:37.783-05:002010-06-08T14:07:37.783-05:00The words "Tornado Watch" still send my ...The words "Tornado Watch" still send my 9 year old into a tizzy! Because of that, we try not to focus too much on the destructive aspect of hurricanes and tornadoes, but rather, the weather aspects and the stories of survival!Charlotte (WaltzingM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12690056082240865041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268877237940592285.post-46698751407137660822010-06-08T14:01:26.786-05:002010-06-08T14:01:26.786-05:00I enjoyed Isaac's storm, well, enjoyed isn'...I enjoyed Isaac's storm, well, enjoyed isn't the right word, but...it was good....-- but I wouldn't read it to my kids...the part where he's helping bury the dead is just...too much..

It was an awesome book. Maybe a bit too old for the kids, but you should look at it.
