Fall Materials Review Session

Hello, all you wonderful librarians:  Now that school is back in session, I want to make sure that you have the next Materials Review Session on your calendar. It will be on Friday, October 11 at 9:00 am at the Brown Public Library in Northfield. This is a  2 ½ hour oral presentation of reviews of new children’s and young adult books. I review  about 75 that I have read, and also bring along a couple hundred more that others have favorably reviewed. You get to see and examine the books before you actually order them.
