[R2R-OR] Wednesday November 4th New Books

Wed Nov 4 09:31:30 PST 2020

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share that at yesterday's office hours we talked about some new favorite books, mostly picture books, but also a few others. You can see the list in our notes<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JKf5IS476XORCmunpRnm7_fLXcqOfbGj4tj7Gstpdug/edit?usp=sharing> from yesterday, there are some good ones! If you're looking for more teen suggestions, try the OYAN list for the Mock Printz below, there's some great titles here! I sincerely appreciate all you are doing in these challenging weeks to get books into the hands of young readers. Take good care today.

Best,

Greta B

Topic: Teen readers. We enthusiastically value the participation of teen readers in the Mock Printz.  Teen participants have to be willing to read the books (or read most of the books) and then spend an afternoon talking intensively with other teens and adults about books. That's a "not for me" proposition for a lot of teens, but for just the right people, it is MAGICAL. So, ask around. Maybe you'll find a couple of students who are up for giving it a try!
Ready to sign up? We're ready for you. Fill in this Google Form to tell us you want to be a part of the 2021 Mock Printz - and ask any teen participants to sign up as well: https://forms.gle/HK35ENMJ1kGoCUPA9
