LIBRARY HOURS: Monday - Friday: 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. (closed Monday - Friday: noon - 1 p.m.) " Saturday: 1 0 a.m. - 2 p.m. My name is Brook Stewart. I am a sum mer youth employee at the Tribal Library. Two of my favorite books are The Outsiders" by S. E. Hinton and The Bar Code Tattoo" by Suzanne Weyn. I am currently reading two books. The titles are "Rumble Fish" by S. E. Hinton and I am re-reading The Outsiders" by S. E. Hinton. I like to read suspense books and mystery; I like not knowing what is going to happen next; the suspense keeps me from loosing interest in the book. ., . Sometime if there is a movie made after the book I'll read the book then watch the movie to see how much they missed from the book or to see what one I like best. I mostly like the book best because the book time captures the right emotions and gets you thinking about' things in the book. With movies they have too much music added so it takes away the emotions since we get distracted by the music. Movies are also too fast to stop and think about the same stuff you would if you read a book. '.', Dook review: "Poetry for Young People," Edgar Allan Poe Edgar Allan Poe wrote poems but they are also short stories. His poems were made to express his emotions and feelings. Edgar was lonely and had an alcohol problem, which also was the cause of his death at a young age. Two of Edgar Allan Poe's poems are The Pit and the Pendulum" and another, which is my favorite, The Tell-tale I leart." What I like about Edgar Allan Poe is that his poems are usually twisted and spooky. Edgar Allan Poe isn't like other poets because his poems explain things like how something sounds or what people think. Some poems have a bit of a song tunc if you read it out loud. If you like poetry then I recommend you read "Poetry for Young People," Edgar Allan Poe.
