Outside of the awards, including one of my favorites the Batchelder Award for translation of foreign children's and young adult books into English awarded to a publisher, which is good for exposing young people to new viewpoints, you can join Booklist -- a one-stop shopping center with webinars about new materials. There are starred reviews you can set up Ingram's standing order program. I also use Penworthy for popular titles and can recommend a great jobber from that company, and I use various book blogs (Twenty by Jenny <a href="http://www.twentybyjenny.com/">http://www.twentybyjenny.com/</a>for example), and Abby the Librarian <a href="http://www.abbythelibrarian.com/">http://www.abbythelibrarian.com/</a> . I also like sites like
kidsreads.com., and Amazon will send you breaking titles as well. No Flying, no Tights is good for graphic novels <a href="http://noflyingnotights.com/">http://noflyingnotights.com/</a> </span><span>Hope this helps. If you need Spanish materials, Lectorum is good, and the company will send you a catalog.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Kimbre Chapman</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Kimbre Chapman</span></div><div><span>Children's Services Supervisor</span></div><div><span>McMinnville Public Library</span></div><div><span>225 NW Adams St.</span></div><div><span>McMinnville, OR 97128</span></div><div><span>503-435-5569</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span></span><br id="yiv3589091941yui_3_13_0_9_1384912133695_6" clear="none"></div>

<div>Hi Everyone, <br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div>I was just curious what methods people use to stay current on all the books coming out. There are so many resources - catalogs, publishers, distributors, etc. etc. etc. - but what do you find is the most efficient way to make sure you don't miss anything? (Or at least not miss too much.)<br clear="all">
