New DCF List is Out

Yes, it's true. After a year's worth of reading great new books, the 2009-2010 DCF List is out, and you can find all 30 titles by going to the DCF website.

Voting for the 2008-09 List will take place in schools and libraries in mid-April.

Can You Find the Bogus Sites?

Thanks to Pam Burke, librarian extraordinaire at the Marlboro School, here is a great list of links to legitimate and illegitimate sources of information. Can you spot the fakes? You'll have to investigate them to determine whether they have their facts straight. Look at the author, examine what it is that the site is saying, and try to verify the information in another source.

Good luck!
