<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I wanted to share a new book list resource with all of you. The ALA-Children’s Book Council Joint Committee just released a list of recommended books for kids who are advanced readers, but who still need titles
that are age-appropriate. The list is posted online, but is also available as a printable handout that can be given to parents and educators.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Feel free to share these lists with your member librarians. There will also be copies of the handouts, as well as a flier with the link, at some of the ALA booths at Annual in Chicago and at some ALSC meetings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If you have any questions about the lists or the selection process, feel free to ask!<br>
