Teachers will find much with which to stimulate student interest, and students will be introduced to the wealth of written material residing in books on library shelves. Modern writing (think J. K. Rowling) builds upon older writings (Jane Austen et al) and students, particularly aspiring authors, will do well to ponder the broad range of resources residing on paper in libraries. This series provides 'tastes' of many different types of literature and students' interest will be stimulated through questions requiring critical thinking.
