A Library Lady: May 2013
http://alibrarylady12.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Thoughts from the world of school libraries and children's books. Tuesday, 14 May 2013. Shadowing The Carnegie Award. A Boy and a Bear in a Boat by Dave Shelton. I loved this. From what I have read this may not be a hot favourite to win the Carnegie award but nonetheless I loved it. When I am choosing a book to read one of the things that deters me is a review that tells me a book is “ heart-warming. 8221; or that I will find it “ uplifting. The best children’s books are those that can be enjoyed o...

A Library Lady: Shadowing the Carnegie Shortlist
http://alibrarylady12.blogspot.com/2013/03/shadowing-carnegie-shortlist.html
Thoughts from the world of school libraries and children's books. Tuesday, 26 March 2013. Shadowing the Carnegie Shortlist. The Weight of Water by Sarah Crossan. This is a coming of age story with a difference and highly recommended for readers of 11 I really enjoyed this and having read Wonder too I already think it is going to be very difficult for the judges to decide on a winner! 26 March 2013 at 10:43. Both Little M and I wholeheartedly agree with you. It is a little gem! 26 March 2013 at 16:27.

A Library Lady: April 2013
http://alibrarylady12.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Thoughts from the world of school libraries and children's books. Tuesday, 9 April 2013. Shadowing the Carnegie Award. Maggot Moon by Sally Gardner. This is a book that I had heard and read much about over the last few months and yet I was still not prepared for its impact. This is a bleak and shocking tale and in Standish Treadwell Sally Gardner has created a teenage character with a strong and unique voice. Readers rather than younger children. I can now understand the media attention and accolades tha...

A Library Lady: July 2012

Thoughts from the world of school libraries and children's books. Tuesday, 31 July 2012. Things 8 and 9 or Trying To Be Organised. I really can’t afford to be dismissive about these organisational tools since now that I am several weeks behind on the CPD23 programme it is obvious that I could do with using a thing or probably several things to ensure that I am better organised. Although others extol the virtues of Google Calendar. Early on this year I downloaded the Evernote. For more than two years to s...

Thoughts from the world of school libraries and children's books. Saturday, 26 May 2012. Thing 4 – Current Awareness - Twitter, RSS Feeds and Storify – to tweet or not to tweet? So, here we are on week 3 and the fourth thing, although it has sneakily managed to be three things. Luckily I was already slightly acquainted with two of them so have managed to keep up. Just! Perhaps it would be best to deal with these “things” one at a time. There are still aspects of Twitter I don’t even pretend to unde...
