It’s MUCH later than I intended, but the Summer Reading books by state is now available at http://ecya.wordpress.com/summerreadingprograms/
There’s also a road trip book list and all the books are linked to amazon.
Hopefully this helps with some displays over the summer!!!!

Are you part of the READERGIRLZ society? Each year on Support Teen Lit day, they organize authors, publishers, librarians, and other book lovers to drop a teen book in public locations for teens to find. It’s really cool! I love the idea. For the past few years, I drop books all over the teen section – usually fun ARCs.
On a side note, check out this video teens made in support of Otis Library

We also were chatting about webinars at the last meeting. Here’s one that just came to my attention.
The Email: ***********
So we wanted to tell you about our next preview.
Our Fall 2011 Librarian Preview will be be available on May 19, 2011.
Learn more
The big difference this time is that no advance registration is required. Instead, we will simply email you on May 19, and all you’ll have to do is “click and watch.”
If you can’t watch it right then, no worries, it will be archived and available any time for your convenience. We’ll email you again on May 19 when the preview is available! In the mean time, if you have any questions, please send them to jmason@scholastic.com
With best regards,
The Scholastic Trade Book Group

I received this email because I’ve watched other previews.
