Palm Springs High School Summer Reading List 2007
Librarian's Suggestions for Summer and Recreational Reading '07
Try the links below and enter the person's name for which you want to find information.  Sometimes you can enter the first name last name and it will work.  Other times you may need to enter last name first name to get the information that you want.  Try it both ways.
Remember to write down the URL (web address) when you find information on a pink slip in the library.  That will help you  visit the site later and also add it to your report as has been required by your teacher.
 
HOW DID I FIND THE SITES BELOW?  I SIMPLY ENTERED THE WORD "BIOGRAPHIES" IN THE SEARCH BAR AND FOUND WONDERFUL RESULTS.
 
Take a "biography challenge".  This is a neat game to see how many famous people you may already know something about.
 
Also try, www.dogpile.com as a search. Enter the person's name int the search box. Many of the famous authors have a website that will list a biography for their lives and also the works that they have written.
