March 19th news

Happy March!

I just sent off an order for Twilight: the Graphic Novel as an Express book. There is a waiting list on it so I think it will be popular as an Express choice too. That's for teens.

And, for children I ordered Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan. There are 80 holds on this book so maybe the Express copies will help ease up the waiting list. We also own this book on CD and as Audio download from Overdrive.

Thinking ahead to April - that's when the Standing Order list usually goes out to your branch manager for review and decision making. The standing order list includes items like the Guinness World Records 032.02 G9485 2010 (I always thought it was called The Guinness Book of World Records ) travel books, Cracking the GED, and magazines.

I encourage all of you to take a look at your local grocery store and/or drug store newstand to see what new magazines are available for teens and kids.
Have you heard any teen suggestions for magazines?
Does your branch have a book club or advisory group that would like to recommend any new magazines for your branch?
Don't forget the ever popular Fangoria magazine - all about horror films. I think teenagers really like horror and even if the cover art is fairly grotesque... 'Fangoria has a 30 year legacy of providing the best in horror entertainment and news coverage. ' from their website.
Have fun !
