As a librarian, I thought you might want to know about the debut (last Monday) of The Picnic Basket where library and school professionals taste new and forthcoming children's books with first-come, first-serve sample copies of books for kids of all ages. We send free books. You tell us what you think: look to see what’s in the weekly feast, request the books that you want to taste, read the books, and then post reviews on The Picnic Basket for your colleagues to read.


It’s a blog full of all you can read (and write) about children’s literature and I hope will become an additional resource for librarians. So far, the feedback’s been overwhelmingly positive. I hope you’ll take a peek and partake in the picnic.

Thanks,

I have a couple librarian friends in your area, and many more writing friends. I love my trips down to Portland. I appreciate all you do for kids. I was a librarian for years, and I know what a difference you make in people's lives. Keep on sharing those books!

Hi Jone,

I’m new to Jacketflap and I am promoting our group Color Online. Would you consider sharing information about us with others? We are currently requesting book reviews. Below is a current post on our blog:

Free Books: Tell Us What You Are Reading?

Color Online wants to know what you're reading. Send us a short review of a book or collection of poetry. Reviews can be as short as 200 words no more than 500. If we use your review, we'll send you a free book! We're looking for reviews on books by women of color. Our target audience is young women between 14-21 or anyone who reads YA and women's literature. If you have questions, write us at [email protected].

Thank you,

LaTonya
