However, at the Los Gatos High School library, we have Internet access, spacious and varied places to sit, all the textbooks you'll need, and a stress-free environment for you to hang out with friends while getting your work done. Our computer information databases, archived magazines/news articles, and varied encyclopedia sets offer you all the information you will need and more for every subject. Plus, the circulation desk has plenty of teacher approved materials for how to properly create a bibliography, use MLA, use turnitin.com, as well as some other handouts that you might find helpful.

Good War Book

A good war book is All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque. The book describes what happens during WWI and what goes through peoples minds. It is an interesting book because it makes the reader want to continue to find what happens. The ending is really good because the reader does not see it coming.
