What's New

The Alchemyst by Michael Scott

Published in 2007, The Alchemyst introduces readers to a group of historical figures who have become immortal and are engaged in a present-day struggle for the fate of the world. The second book in the series, The Magician, picks up exactly where the first leaves off. Allied with the legendary Nicholas Flame are teen twins, Sophie and Josh who are gifted but with untrained powers. In opposition to them, Machiavelli, along with Joan of Arc and others, plans to plunder civilization. For those who loved Percy Jackson and miss Harry Potter, this new fantasy series will be a welcome new addition to our library..

Arundel Book Wish List

The school's librarians maintain a "wish list" of books to add to the collections of all three libraries. Anyone can donate books from the wish list and the books are placed into circulation immediately, with a dedication bookplate of the donor's choosing. The wish list on this website is updated frequently.
