The
Creston Library was created in 1987. Prior to that
time, the school had no official library. Teachers
either bought library books themselves or had books
donated to their classroom by parents. Students
generally used a small local branch of the San Luis
Obispo County Library system, located just off the
school grounds. But the school itself had no library.
At that time, Mrs. Joan Sando was Principal, and
Roy King was Creston's representative on the district
school board. Through their efforts, along with
the countless volunteer hours of Mrs. Angie Cook,
our library soon became a reality! We now have over
2000 titles, and the list grows each year with the
help of Cris Smith, District Librarian, Mrs. Amato,
school Librarian, Mrs. Emmy Collier, library volunteer
(see photo below), and Mrs. Charlotte deFermian,
Creston Library's resident "Weaver of Tales."
Here's to another fantastic year in the Creston
Library 2007-08! We
can't wait!

Reviewer:
A 10-year old reader (courtesy of Amazon.com)
I put off reading Shiloh because I thought I hated
dog stories. Then, after enjoying a similar book,
I read it and loved it! It's about a boy, Marty,
in West Virginia, who's desperate to save runaway
dog Shiloh from his abusive owner. A great book
that allows you to relate with the main character
and gives you a chance to really think.
However, for those of you who dislike "sappy"
books or have a problem with saying I want a beagle
too! at the end of it, this is not a book for you.
On the other hand, if you like those types of things
and are dying to know if Marty gets Shiloh, read
and discover...
