100 Books Before Graduation

Friday, May 31, 2024

Salem-South Lyon District Library

Attention High School Students! The Library has a program to encourage teens to continue reading through high school called 100 Books Before Graduation! Here’s how it works: students will record the books they have read in increments of ten. Once a student has read ten books their name will be featured on the “Wall of Fame” in the Teen Area. For every ten books a student reads they will “move up” a level on the Wall of Fame. Once a student has read 100 books, the library will purchase a book in the student’s name for the collection. Call or stop into the library for more information!

There is 'SOMETHING' for everyone!

This month's title: The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell by Robert Dugoni

Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered, buoyed by his mother’s devout faith, his father’s practical wisdom, and his two other misfit friends.

Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls.

Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design—especially not the tragedy that caused him to turn his back on his friends, his hometown, and the life he’d always known. Running from the pain, eyes closed, served little purpose. Now, as he looks back on his life, Sam embarks on a journey that will take him halfway around the world. This time, his eyes are wide open—bringing into clear view what changed him, defined him, and made him so afraid, until he can finally see what truly matters.
