I manage a library that serves over 2,000 students in grades 6-12, plus I have a lot of report-writing required by my administration. To top it off, I have a 150-mile round trip commute (that's a different story!). Let's just say that I find it hard to find time to read YA books. However, I've discovered that several of my students love giving book reviews to other students. They often hang out in the library during the busiest times. If someone asks me for a recommendation and I'm not quite sure, I'll give my best recommendation and then suggest that the student talk to one of my avid readers. I'll point that student out, and more often than not they'll end up talking.LibrarianLisaNhttp://www.twitter.com/librarianlisannoreply@blogger.com
