I was happy to find this blog because it discusses not only books for children and programs, but also early literacy.  Since this is a blog created by ALSC, the other topics discussed include scholarships, collection development, advocacy, gaming, outreach services, and story time.   This resource will be helpful in my future as a children’s services librarian because it provides so much information on topics of the field that I would not have considered, such as the outreach services.

This blog reviews books of the children’s and young adult varieties.  This will be a great resource for future reader’s advisory services.  I look forward to reading books discussed on this blog so that I may truly suggest them to kids of all ages.

This is a great tool for children’s services librarians today!  Hartwell began his blog in 2009 and reviews books that he thinks boys would like.  Children’s services librarians have to be able to give books to kids when they ask and this resource offers somewhere to start when suggesting books for boys.  Hartwell also lists other blogs that discuss books for boys.  I will find this useful in the future when young boys ask me for suggestions of what to read.

This is a fun blog created by a woman interested in children’s services and children’s books.  She gives great ideas for children and librarians and discusses library programs that she has participated in.  This resource will give me ideas for creating programs and developing the children’s collection in the future library that I will work at.
