He is the founder of Common Culture Coffee and works closely with The Thirst Project, a charity that provides clean drinking water in Africa, for which he raised more than $230,000 in thirty days. 

He also curates music from up-and-coming bands for his Common Culture compilation albums.
  Rachel says this about this book
"Connor Franta is one of my inspirations. As much as I'd love to say his personal journey - his struggles with image and sexuality - hit close to home, I would be lying. Connor's voice is what I love. His energy, his creativeness, his humour, his lively, bubbly personality inspires me every time I watch one of his videos. And I am probably one of millions around the world with this to say but Connor just gets it - being a kid, being a teenager, the hell of high school, the struggles of independence. Maybe that seems a little silly to say but I've seen countless generic bloggers with their fake smiles plastered on and nothing new to offer to the world. Connor is fresh and open, he's honest in a casual way with none of the fake bullshitty drama stuff. His style is open and frivolous but raw - and his book is exactly the same."

By: Chloe Phillips- Harris Location: FIC HAR  Genre: Real life horse race- Mongolia! This book is about an amazing kiwi woman challenging herself on a big adventure! I love stories like this for our students! Check out her Facebook page- it is inspirational; https://www.facebook.com/ChloeAdventurer/ The real-life adventures of a young woman pushing the limits, trusting her instincts and living her life off the beaten path Suffering through searing pain and delirious illness in frigid, makeshift conditions, Chloe Phillips-Harris, at the age of 25 years, summoned every ounce of determination to brave the world's most gruelling horse race - the Mongol Derby. This 1000-kilometre endurance race across the wild steppes, desert and mountains of Mongolia - a competition with no marked course, no support team, that requires riders to switch horses every 40 km - saw almost half the competitors drop out along the way, but Chloe persevered. Fearless  recounts Chloe's childhood g...

Because you all love Wally so much- we bought you some new books! Enjoy and keep Wally's whereabouts a secret!!

 By: Kelsey Rodkey Location: FIC ROD Genre: Young Adult Romance Fans of Elise Bryant and Rachel Lynn Solomon will swoon for Last Chance Books author Kelsey Rodkey’s next romance, packed with snark, banter, and inconvenient crushes. Saine Sinclair knows a little something about what makes a story worth telling. Your childhood best friend refuses to kiss you during a pre-adolescent game of spin the bottle? Terrible, zero stars, would not replay that scene again. The same ex-friend becomes your new best friend’s ex? Strangely compelling, unexpected twist, worth a hate-watch. That same guy—why is he always around? —turns out to be your last shot at getting into the documentary filmmaking program of your dreams? Saine hates to admit it, but she’d watch that movie. There’s something about Holden that makes her feel like she’s the one in front of the camera—like he can see every uncomfortable truth she’s buried below the surface. Saine knows how her story’s supposed to go. So why does eve...
