Where I am now

Golly, it's been a while. Okay, next week I will be away cavorting (read bicycling, kayaking, golfing, hiking, canoeing, among other fun-nesses) in the gorgeous Adirondacks, known familiarly as The 'Dacks, but when I return it's summer in full for teens at the Wyckoff Library, so get ready for mayhem (with candy). Happy 4th to one and all and see you soon!

Book Expo 2012

Today Denise Marchetti (our wonderful Chuldren's Librarian) and I had the distinct pleasure to attend the 2012 Book Expo event in New York City at the cavernous Jacob Javits Conference Center. Sadly, I did not get an opportunity to see John Green, one of my most fave teen authors, but I will admit to shaking the hand of the estimable Walter Dean Myers. What a thrill! And you may see some interesting posters in your Teen Room, too. I netted some cool books you may want to read, as well. Next time you see me, ask me about this great day. I'm still giddy about it (and pretty darn tired, too). Those of you attending tomorrow's Teen Writers Group will probably hear me vent about it!
