- Here in the Benold Library we have many books that are in a series. My
display contains many books that are the first in their series.
- I chose the topic of series because I am finding that series are
becoming more and more popular. Most of the books I see in peoples’
hands are in a series.
- All of the books in my display are Fiction, and there are only a few
paperback books here and there.
- There is one series in my display where I put up all of the four books
in that display. This series is the “Authorian Saga” by Mary Stewart.
This is a fairly old series and I did this because this series is not
well known by students, and rarely read by middle school students, such
as I, but there will still be people who will read it and I put all four
up to just let the readers know what the whole series is about.
