Panel Discussion

Chuck and I attended a meeting where a panel of local librarians discussed their children's book needs and book selection process. I was struck by the strict rules governing their purchases that limit them to award winning books or books with stellar reviews by Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal, etc., regardless of their local population needs.

Go to your local bookstore and support your local authors. You might find a gem that hasn't been discovered yet!
