library scrotum

The interesting thing is, when you Google the above combination, how many of the results *aren't* about the kerfuffle over The Higher Power of Lucky, the 2007 Newberry Award winner that includes the word on the first page.

[They're medical library resources on undescended testicles, the irrelevant-to-me ones.]

Mm -- Google News?

(I've spent the afternoon troubleshooting library school homework -- the last answer was, "check the ALA web site and send 'em the Caldecott and Newbery medal winners." C's doing reference questions for the IPL....)

hi flea - my question elsewhere was bouncing off of this post. bad manners, me. I asked because a woman I work with was just talking about this. She's a librarian too. and a darn fine children's book author: http://books.google.com/books?as_auth=Laura+Amy+Schlitz&ots=Ic77QQ2RAt&sa=X&oi=print&ct=title&cad=author-navigational

No worries. The thing I was working on was about intellectual freedom and library stakeholders, so I was talking about examples of challenged books. I googled the string I did because I couldn't recall the book's actual title! I haven't read it - too advanced for Casper yet - but I am looking forward to reading bigger kid books. Many of my favorite kids' books are geared to 10 year olds.

Same - I cannot wait until we get to the Black Cauldron et al. Still, I'm every once in a while slipping a little Phantom Tollbooth into her bedtime reading. She hasn't gotten fed up yet.

The Mo Williams discussion has me all smiles too.

cruel flea. Cruel cruel hanna-casperflea-andersson.
