Assigned Reading in Schools or Classics

Please be on the look out for assigned reading lists and classic book lists that students might be bringing in before school ends this Spring.

I'd like to order more Classics for the library, especially those titles that teens need for school.

Send me copies of any book lists you see that teens are bringing into the library and I'll try and order more copies of those books.

Thanks very much!

Magazines

Now is a good time to think about which magazines you would like your branch to subscribe to for the Fiscal Year 2009/10.

Look at the magazines your branch gets now for kids and teens and see how much use they are getting. Are some tattered and kind of beat up? Those are probably the most popular. Are some collecting dust and don't look as if anyone has disturbed them in months? Those are titles that maybe are not as popular any more.

When you have a chance look at what is being sold at your local grocery store, or book store in the kids section.

We deal with Ebsco for periodicals and they carry almost any magazine that you see on newsstands.

Have fun!

Vampire Stories for kids

Have you seen the vampire stories for kids called Little Vampire ? They are by Joann Sfar and cataloged as Children's Fiction.

I'll order more of these and be on the look out for other vampire stories for children too.
