eSequels is current and complete so you can find the newest title by your favorite author or spot a title that you may have missed.

eSequels lists the most popular series so you can discover a new author or rediscover an enjoyable series of years past.

eSequels indexes character, location and subject as well as author and title so you can identify a series that you may recall only vaguely.

eSequels gives brief annotations that describe each title without "giving away" any surprise endings. At: www.yourlibrary.ws, press on Research.

And last, but most important for some readers, eSequels lists the novels in the correct reading sequence so you can begin at the beginning rather than blunder into the middle of “Act III.”

Learn to Tame the Time Monster

Classes in Time ManagementDo you ever feel like there’s just

not enough time in the day to do

everything you either want or

need to do? Fitting in school,

homework, activities, chores,

eating and sleeping all in a single

day can be quite the challenging

task; and don’t forget about taking some time for fun

and relaxation too! Learning to tame the time monster

is a lot easier than you think! During these 4

workshops, we will discover a strategy that will assist

us in successfully accomplishing our responsibilities

while leaving time for the things we enjoy doing. The

benefit… is feeling less stressed and more happy.

Hope to see you there!

The Baker AfterSchool Center will be open on the first day of school (from 2:00-5:30) and every afternoon when school is in session for the school year.

If you need a break from school work there will also be special days that will include crafts, games, cooking and classes. Updates will be posted on our FaceBook page at Greenville Public Library TeenScape. It is available for anyone in grades 6-12 and no sign up is necessary!

Community Service Available
