My library just bought a large format printer (HP 500 series) and I'm not sure what kind of roll paper to use.

Knowing the general story and picturing the characters after seeing the movie makes reading the book even more fun. Next, I'll read Jane Eyre. (I know! I should have read both of these books by now!!!)

My wife and I were at a social for the new teachers to the school and one of the teachers asked us what our favorite books were. Funny, while we both like to read a lot, the books we both came up with happened to be non fiction. I’m transferring schools this year, but still teaching kindergarten.

I could list maybe 20 of my favorites. And, my list changes over time. For example, as a young college student, I loved "Atlas Shrugged", but now, I'm kind of bothered with it. I can't imagine a life without books. I'm glad there are people like you around promoting reading. Kids these days are reading less and less and gaming and networking more and more.

In the spring of 2008 when THE BIG READ WAS "To Kill a Mockingbird" I made some read posters of our local officials holding that book. In 2009 our BIG READ will be "Their Eyes Were Watching God." Do you know if ALA has any READ posters with a celebrity holding that book? Jackie Hi

Do you know if ALA has any READ posters with a celebrity holding that book?

A coworker tried the READ Mini Posters link (last link under the blogroll) and it took her straight to the page, so I'm not sure what the problem is. If it still won't work for you, here's the address: http://www.ala.org/ala/productsandpublications/READ_Mini_Posters.cfm Hope that works! Katharine Hi Julie!
