’t mean you can’t get a copy at the Morgan Hill Library. Savvy

In High Tide in Hawaii (73 p.), the latest installment in Mary Pope Osborne’s Magic Tree House series for easy readers, Jack and Annie find excitement while vacationing in Hawaii.
If your kids have devoured all four Harry Potter books, there’s more magic in store for them in the Eoin Colfer’s Artemis Fowl series. Book 3, The Eternity Code (309 p.), was released this month.
Princess in Waiting (225 p.), the fourth volume in Meg Cabot’s Princess Diaries series, finds 14-year-old Mia dealing with her Genovian subjects.
The hottest title of the summer will no doubt be the fifth installment in J. K. Rowling’s phenomenally popular Harry Potter series – Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (896 p.) It’s due to be released on Saturday, June 21, so look for it to appear in the library catalog next month.
Fans of the hilarious Brit, Georgia Nicolson, will want to be sure to pick up the fourth (and perhaps final) title in the series – Dancing in My Nuddy-Pants: Even Further Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (214 p.) by Louise Rennison. This quick read is for teens (and mature tweens).
The heartwarming, coming-of-age story of four teenage girls introduced in Ann Brashares’ Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2001) continues in The Second Summer of the Sisterhood (373 p.) This is a surefire hit for girls 14 and up.
To place a hold online, go to http://www.santaclara countylib.org/, and click on the Library Catalog. Enter the title or author of the book you’d like, then click on the Place Hold button. A pop-up window will ask for your library card and PIN numbers. (You probably chose a four-digit PIN number when you got your library card. If you’ve forgotten your PIN, ask at the library check-out desk.) You’ll be notified by mail or email when your item is waiting for you at the library.
And since your kids will be reading anyway, don’t forget to sign them up for the Library’s Summer Reading Club (for both children and teens). Sign-ups began June 2.
