Library, Wednesday, All Day

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

Sholeh came into work humming a little bit but was abruptly hushed by the books. At first, she assumed that it was out of respect for the library's noise policy, but going into the stacks, she discovered that was incorrect. Some of the science books had banded together to make a working radio out of random parts and now most of the books were huddled around it, anxiously listening to...some kind of news report?

After listening for a few moments, Sholeh realized she had no idea what was going on (the radio's reception was also pretty fuzzy), shrugged her shoulders, and went back to the circulation desk. She'd make sure all the books got back to their places before her shift was over, but so long as they were being quiet, she couldn't see a problem with letting them listen.

Whereas Sholeh had never seen anything like the television before coming here. It was fascinating, but most of the stuff the other students watched didn't draw her interest.

"It's never too late to start reading more," Sholeh assured him. "What do you normally like to read? I can help you pick something out if you like!"

Book pusher.

"Uh, I don't really know," Theo said, scratching the side of his head. "Something exciting, I guess. With action? And while I don't think I'm dumb, I'd probably want to read something that's straightforward, if that makes sense."

He wasn't going to be able to comprehend books with flowery language and prose that was deep but difficult.

Sholeh nodded, thinking of some of the books she'd seen while reshelving. "Hmm, let me think...do you think you'd like to read a book about a townful of kids after every adult over sixteen inexplicably vanishes? They have to survive and some of them are getting weird powers, too. It's called Away (http://www.amazon.com/Gone-Special-Edition-Michael-Grant/dp/0062236911/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372386122&sr=8-1&keywords=gone), I could find it if you're interested!"

"That...actually sounds a little interesting," Theo had to admit. Not unlike his own situation though he still had adults around and didn't really have powers.

Just tagalongs who sometimes did a little more than argue with each other.

"It's not a huge book, is it?"
