DECORATING WITH THE BEST

School Library Journal had a good idea – take A Fuse #8 Production’s Top 100 Picture Books and Children’s Novels polls and turn them into fancy PDFs for everyone to enjoy. You can sign up now and they will send them to your inbox when they are released. I haven’t seen them yet, but I’m already having visions of hanging them up in my school libraries. Click here to sign up for the picture books PDF. Click here to sign up for the children’s novels PDF.

PINTASTIC

Author Kate Messner wrote an article about Pinterest for the July issue of School Library Journal. She kindly mentions me in there too. If you’re curious about the service, click here to check it out.

YOUR E-BOOK IS READING YOU

Real headline alert! Nothing gets the Big Brother juices flowing like the idea of your reading habits being tracked. I would go on, but I’m actually starting to get a little nervous. Click here to read.

    Wow, that article really makes me nervous around my e-book. Can it see me, too? Also, hanging up the polls is a great idea. I have a quick question for you. Is historical fiction popular in your library among the elementary set? I get mixed messages on that from librarians and I’d love to hear about your personal experience.

    Best,
    Jewell
