Public Library resource:
Overdrive has made Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone available to anyone who wants to read it (e-book or digital audio)! Go to brooklinelibrary.org, go to e-books, pick the version you want (e-book or audio) and check it out using your library card. The audio version is pretty wonderful, so even if you've read the first book in the series already, I'll bet you'd enjoy the audio, too!
Practice your library skills:
Mrs. Lodge's Library
A wise librarian created a website where you can practice putting books in Dewey Decimal order. See how well you do with 3, then 5, and finally 8 books to put in order. http://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/shelver. Click on "check my shelf" to see if you were correct!
