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.

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,
