Welcome to the Brick Post, the SK library’s book review blog! If you’ve read a book and got an opinion on it, you can send us a review of it. If you’re looking for a book to read, you can read through reviews ‘til you find a book you think you’ll like.

Book Reviews
To have your book review published on the blog, send a copy of your review to amanda.lukas@stu.kenton.kyschools.us or erin.hall@stu.kenton.kyschools.us with the words “Book Review” plus your name and the book’s title (it can be shortened) in the subject line (ex. “Book Review: Joe Schmoe, Grapes of Wrath”). If we post it, we’ll tell you. If it’s not, we’ll tell you why not. You can write edit and resubmit reviews as much as you want. Now, the basic guidelines:

Book Review Guidelines
1. All book reviews must adhere to the Acceptable Use Policy (i.e. don’t write anything you wouldn’t write in English class. This is a school-based blog, after all.)
2. All reviews must be at least about 3 paragraphs long (can be longer if you wish.)
3. All reviews must be readable. Not perfect, just readable.
4. All reviews will be edited for grammar and spelling before being published.
5. Probably goes without saying, but be sure to include your name, the author’s name, and the book title in the review.
6. The book does not have to be from or available at the SK library.

Comments
Any student (or teacher!) can leave comments on blog posts so long as they relate to the blog post and adhere to the Acceptable Use Policy (http://www.sk.kenton.k12.ky.us/bluetech/TeacherPage/Code%20of%20conduct%20online%20version%202008-2009.pdf, pg. 15)—that is, so long as you express your opinions respectfully and without going for the jugular. Critique, debate, praise, discuss, whatever you want goes as long as it it’s relevant and respectful. Finally, all comments have to go through moderation (be approved by Ms. Moore or one of us library aides), so if your comment doesn’t show up:

a) it just hasn’t been approved yet, in which case, sorry for the delay!
b) the comment isn’t relevant to the blog post, in which case it won’t be approved
c) it violates the AUP, in which case it won’t be approved
