YALSA Literature Symposium


I am so excited to be attending my first YALSA Literature Symposium this weekend! I love attending library conferences. I can geek out with my fellow librarians, talk teen lit all weekend, and get excited about program ideas and library services for teens.

Be sure to attend my wonderful friends Angie, Drea, Katie, and Kelly (with help from Abby)   presentation on Contemporary Lit-Get Real: Contemporary Young Adult Fiction as the Next Big Thing. They are going to be awesome!

And if you're attending, be sure to say hi!

    It's nice it's right in your own backyard so to speak. I'll be there and presenting too. Can't wait to be done with that angle of it all but looking forward to book talk all weekend.

    I'll be there! I was in a Young Adult Literature class at Mizzou that you spoke to (it was an online session about 2 years ago) and once I became a teen librarian, I remembered your blog and came to visit. I lived in St. Louis last year and visit often so I'm thrilled that it's so close to home. I would love if you could follow my blog also: http://wildaboutteenbooks.blogspot.com See you soon!

I know as a member of District Four I should be cheering for my own tribute, but after watching the last two Hunger Games play out I have fallen in love with Peeta Mellark! Why do I love Peeta? He's smart, he's funny, and he's charming. He stands up for what he believes, he's loyal and he's not afraid to do what's right. He's sensitive and caring but can also be strong and kick butt. He fights for Katniss and with Katniss. Peeta is a great diplomat and he knows how to bring people together. He can also be sneaky to get what he wants. Plus, did I mention he can bake? And he's hot!! But it's not just me! We have an underground club of sorts here in District Four-Seafaring Librarians for Peeta! Here's what some of our members had to say about their love for Peeta: - Team Peeta!! I love their relationship because they balance each other perfectly. Where ...
