Hooray! ALA is here in Philly through next Tuesday! It may not really be "always sunny" but it will be productive and fun as librarians from across the nation convene to wrap up a year's worth of committee work. The Caldecott, Newbery, Printz, Coretta Scott King, and a multitude of other awards will be finalized behind closed doors in the City of Brotherly Love. Get ready for the big book award announcements on Monday...I have my secret predictions and will post the winners after they are announced. If you can't wait and want to hear it "live from Philadelphia" check out the ALA website at www.ala.org and you can link to the webcast.
This blog began with my librarian journey in 2008. It’s named for my disheveled barnyard in Radnor, PA -- but the majority of the content is dedicated to education, libraries, and YA literature.
