You may have noticed the lack of book reviews this year. I’m going to try to work on that, but honestly, I’m not sure it’ll get better right now. I am Great Graphic Novel for Teens this year and am still working out the balance of reading for committee and reading for myself. I am discovering it’s a very delicate balance, but I am working on it. I am, however, writing up some posts on programming and what’s going on w/my teens. Hopefully, there will be some posts up later on this week and next!

This week marks the 40th year that my library is at its current location. So, we have a ton of different activities planned throughout the month, including 70s Week!

For me, that means a new display in the Teen Section (which I hope will be Tuesday’s post!) and the whole staff is wearing 70s inspired fashion this week.

I definitely promise a picture, haha!

You may have notice it’s been rather quite here at Book Blather lately. I know this isn’t something new, but this time there is a reason. Book Blather is about to go through some changes! Some of you may know that I’ve always wanted to make this a collab blog and I’m happy to report I’ve finally made it happen. Staring May 1st Katie and Kristen will become part of Book Blather. To say I’m excited is a tad of an understatement! Both lovely ladies are friends and I’m so glad to welcome them aboard.

However, that’s not the only changes that’ll be happening. The plan is to make Book Blather more of a MG/YA resource blog. There will still be reviews, but our focus will be more on reader’s advisory. We’ll be posting book lists, good transition books, award winners, manga, and so much more. And since we’re all librarians we’ll be posting a lot about our everyday jobs as well. But don’t worry, there will still be some personal stuff as we plan to have a weekly “Get to know your Blogger” feature.

I hope you’ll all welcome Kristen and Katie with welcome arms. I can’t wait to show you what we have planned, but for now I’ll just say….See you May 1st!!
