Texas Bluebonnet Award
I have been a little busy lately and not blogging. I found out a few weeks ago that I have been appointed to the Texas Bluebonnet Awards Selection Committee. I am one of 10 Texas librarians who will be reading, reviewing, and selecting 20 books for the Master List starting in 2008-2009. I am so excited to serve on this committee for the next 3 years. What an honor and fantastic opportunity for me to learn more about great literature! I will get to share more great books to get kids hooked on reading!
