BOOKHUB...A Fun Way For Readers To "Order" Books For Delivery From The Library When we return to learn in the fall, I want our students to be excited about being able to find, check out and read books from our library. I want to make sure we are there to help them with this process as it will look different this year. Since our students will be staying in their classrooms, we will be coming to them with the books. We will need a way for them to "order" what type of books they want so we can do the "shopping" in the library and match them up with books they will love to read. One night last week, my family ordered GRUBHUB at home. As we were on the app ordering food with a few special instructions, putting in our name, address and receiving an estimated delivery time, I started to think how this was a lot like how we can get books into the hands of our readers too.
The 25 Best Websites for Literature Lovers It’s an interesting relationship that book lovers have with the Internet: most would rather read a physical book than something on an iPad or Kindle, and even though an Amazon purchase is just two or three clicks away, dedicated readers would rather take a trip to their local indie bookstore.

YA fiction offers something to suit a range of reading tastes – making it less of a genre as such, and more of a category with a recommended reading age. Of course, that’s not to say these books can’t also be enjoyed by ‘grown-ups’ – some of the biggest bestsellers in recent years were intended for the YA audience – but there are certain themes and patterns running throughout (for example, coming-of-age narratives) that make them particularly appealing for this demographic. Which genres feature in YA fiction? From romance to horror and everything in between, nearly every genre is covered under the umbrella category of YA fiction; here are the ones that tend to feature most commonly: Sci-Fi / Dystopian

It was produced by Radio Diaries and published by Highbridge, a division of Recorded Books. Using #Bookstagram to Enhance the Library For the past three years, as I’ve incorporated Google Suite, Canvas, Kahoot, and other interactive digital tools into my library practice, I’ve seen firsthand how technology can benefit my school community. During the quarantine, my technological skills helped me communicate with staff and students to provide instruction, book lists, videos, and research information. The most exciting pursuit for me while in lockdown, though, was starting a bookstagram account on Instagram. Bookstagram, a community of Instagram users focused on the love of books, brings together people from all over the world as they share photos, ideas, recommendations, and reviews.
Books - ArtsBeat Blog - The New York Times Photo A rambling 1950 letter from Neal Cassady to Jack Kerouac that helped inspire “On the Road” will be auctioned next month by Christie’s in New York, apparently bringing to an end an 18-month legal battle over its ownership. The 16,000-word typed letter, which carries an estimate of $400,000 to $600,000, had been considered lost before it surfaced in the discarded files of Golden Goose Press, a now-defunct small San Francisco publisher, and listed for sale by a Southern California auction house in 2014.
