E-book device sales are levelling off, and interactive e-books are proving popular. There is definitely a place for both in the book market.

A book is coming, featuring the up and coming picture book illustrators, some have already had quite a measure of success (Herve Tullet, Chris Haughton) others I've not heard of before but will be checking out their books asap.

summer reading poor achievement gap

Carole Gardiner on 13 Jun 13

Study in US has foudn that low income students reading levels decline at a greater rate because they don't have access to books, especially over summer holiday. Librarians need to get books into kids hands, not worry about books not being returned.

Free Technology for Teachers: Inspire Students to Read and Travel With The Global Books... - 1 views

Inspire Students to Read and Travel With The Global Bookshelf The Global Bookshelf is a book search and recommendation engine that was started by my friend Gillian Duffy. The purpose of The Global Bookshelf is to help people find travel stories. The books you'll find aren't travel guides, they're travel stories that could inspire you to visit a new place and experience a new culture. You can browse The Global Bookshelf by region, genre, and book format (Kindle, PDF, physical book). Applications for Education Gillian is very keen to have others add their book reviews to The Global Bookshelf. If you have high school students who have read some travel narratives, consider having them write a review to share on The Global Bookshelf. This is a great way to provide an authentic audience for your students' work.

I've been reading Bob's blog ever since he started it and haven't found him wrong yet :) If he recommends it I usually buy it. We also share the cost with the English Dept every year and get Bob down to talk to the classes - worth every penny and he's not expensive.

Yes, I agree Bob is a good reviewer. He is also a good presenter. Whangarei Boys High School has a 'Dads and Lads' evening with him which is very popular. I find that all the books he speaks about become popular and it's good to be the first to know about them.

The author of the Murder Most Unladylike series picks her favourite sleuthing stories, from Sherlock Holmes to Sally Lockhart. Detective books are really popular in our library and I love this list of great crime novels. It also makes me want to check out a few BBC programs too..

We purchased The Recruit by Robert Muchamore. I read it and thought it was a good book. We purchased more of the Cherub series but now only have two in our Library. They became very violent and too graphic. What do other Primary Librarians do at your school with his books please?
