Information about parallel readings

3rd and 4th period -

I finally got in touch with the manager at Borders at the Avenue, where I ordered 30 copies of Whirligig several weeks ago.  We had thought that the books were delayed, but it turns out that they were not ordered until I made a follow-up call last week.  Borders apologizes for this misstep, as do I.  So, all I can ask is please do your best to buy a copy if possible or borrow a copy from a friend who took my class last semester.  Additionally, you may try ordering a book from Amazon if you are willing to pay for faster shipping.  For those who cannot purchase the books, I will copy the pages if needed.  Thanks for your understanding on this.  It seems like most of you are enjoying the book so far, so I'm glad it seems worth the hassle :)
