	What's New The Overton Window by Glenn Beck An unprecedented attack on U.S. soil shakes the country to the core and puts into motion a frightening plan, decades in the making, to transform America and demonize all those who stand in the way. Exposing the plan and revealing the conspirators behind it, PR executive Noah Gardner hatches his own plan to save both the woman he loves and the individual freedoms he once took for granted. New Arrivals features recently added fiction, nonfiction, movies, music and more!
	What We're Reading That Crumpled Paper was Due Last Week : helping disorganized and distracted boys succeed in school and life by Ana Homayoun Just in time for back-to-school, this book will help parents give their boys guidance on achieving in the classroom. Ana Homayoun provides some great ideas on where to study (dining room is the best), how long to study (two hour blocks), and what technology to allow while studying (none - till they need it to do their homework). She offers organizational suggestions - binders not expandables and other tools that will help your child. A chapter on quizzes, projects and tests emphasizes flash cards, review sheets and lots of highlighting. While reading this book, I had my own notebook and was taking notes. She also stressed that a parent should present these new ideas gradually and don't overwhelm the child. --ss More Staff Picks
