Don't Nobody Tell Me Nothin'
August 28, 2007
First KT Horning (former president of ALSC, doncha know) goes and makes a blog called Worth the Trip. Cooler still, it's a gay children/YA book blog AND AND AND she features the newest Pija Lindenbaum book in a recent post. A book I would rather like to get my hands on. *cough cough* Thanks to Read Roger
for the link.
And then there's the fact that the library system with the highest circulation in the country ain't mine. It ain't even Brooklyn. Oh, Queens. Must you consistently shame us so? First you go about getting all pro-active when it comes to hiring new staff at the DC ALA Convention and now your stats are too damn high. Tell me the truth, Laura, you guys all check out ten books apiece every night, right? Right?
Author Sue Stauffacher of Donuthead fame has started a blog of her very own. A blog with ambitions no less. Called Readia, Sue notes that the purpose of the site is to, "alert parents, teachers and others who work with children and low-level readers to high quality literature that fosters a love of reading.Readia is specifically aimed at children who are reluctant to read because they prefer other forms of media. They may also have low skill levels. The books that Sue features will be appropriate for all readers, but are targeted at readers from a variety of cultures and/or low socioeconomic backgrounds." Even more fun, Michel Martin of NPR's Tell Me More is interviewing Sue on Monday about her book Nothing But Trouble: The Story of Althea Gibson just in time for the 50th anniversary of Althea's historic win at the U.S. Open. Be sure to listen.
