Librarian announces new book acquisitions

Mrs. Shaffer, the high school librarian, has provided the following list of recent book acquisitions. These Engineering- and Science-related books are now available for students to borrow from the high school library.

While some of the books were purchased to support senior research papers, the majority were purchased in response to the book request that the Engineering Club submitted to Mrs. Shaffer in November.

The club wishes to thank Mrs. Shaffer for researching the books that were requested and then purchasing and cataloging those that were most appropriate for the high school library. Club members are encouraged to visit the library and explore these new books, and to let Mrs. Shaffer know how much they appreciate her efforts!
