WELCOME TO THE WILBURY A. CROCKETT LIBRARY
At Wellesley High School
Fall, 2009
On the back of the sheet in front of you, without talking to your neighbor:
1. Write down the title of a book, newspaper, or magazine you’re read in the last year and really enjoyed. Not something you had to read for school – just something you liked.
2. If you remember the author’s name, write that down too.
3. When you’re done, turn your sheet face down on the table.
