Friday Night is Blog Following Night
It seems that I find myself trolling, reading and "following" blogs and interesting links on Friday nights. Television doesn't have much to offer and I am finding myself back in the zone I discovered while I was completing the "23 Things of School Library Learning 2.0" last summer. Here are a few I discovered tonight on my stroll: BookMoot - written by a librarian with oh so many links to author pages, book review pages and a great blog about an event with Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis Fowl, et al.; Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast, Why Stop at Six?, a blog mostly about children's books and picture books; and a humorous look at library life from behind the desk, A Librarian's Guide to Etiquette, subtitled "A polite librarian is a good librarian" - WARNING! reading this at school could spoil your image as a serious person if you find yourself laughing out loud too much!

2 New Selection Tools Online
Today I received a new email newsletter entitled: Quick Tips from Book Links. If you haven't seen it, you can go to: http://link.ixs1.net/s/ve?eli=k160219&si=e182487167&cfc=3html to view it and sign up to receive future issues. In the newsletter, I found reference to the new ALSC blog from ALA. I haven't seen this before.
The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), has launched an ALSC blog at http://www.alsc. ala.org/blog. The blog provides a venue for coverage and interactive discussion of time sensitive news in children’s librarianship, current issues in the field, programs, conferences, initiatives, resources and activities of interest to ALSC members and those interested in children’s librarianship. I found a great comment about displays that you can read in total on a post for Dec. 7, 2007 at http://www.alsc.ala.org/blog/?p=139#comments: "I have to admit to putting books on display in libraries that I don’t even work in. Kinda like committing random acts of kindness – I commit random acts of display." Have you tried this?
