There are some great opportunities to help you keep up with the huge number of titles for children and youth--all without leaving your desk. Check out the following offers of webinars from other systems and from vendors:


The South Central Library System, together with the Cooperative Children's Book Center, has a monthly series of 1/2 hour webinars on recommended books, CCBC Shorts. They are archived on the CCBC website. Past themes have included: great new picture books, books and boys, read-alouds, book club ideas. The CCBC librarians have a lot of great insight about books, so take a listen at your convenience.

Booklist, in cooperation with Orca Publishers, is sponsoring a webinar called Reaching Reluctant Readers: Using High Interest Fiction to Engage and Inspire on Tuesday, October 19 from 1-2 pm. Even if you can't come at that time, if you register, they'll send you a link to the archived webinar.
