Welcome to our new blog!

This new reader's advisory blog for the Youth Services staff of the TPPL is designed to get us talking about books we're already reading. When it comes to RA, fellow staff members can be our best resource! Things you'll likely see on the blog:

- Book recommendations (I just read a really great book and want to tell the world about it!)
- Requests for help with readalikes (A patron just came in and wanted a book like Twilight. He/she has already read everything on our bibliography. I found something for this patron, but dread someone else coming in with the same question. Help!)
- Links to interesting articles, blogs, websites, etc.

Again, this is meant to be a discussion, so please post often and comment when you have something to say. If no one says anything, it isn't much of a discussion!

We would like to begin using the "tag" function on the blog. Suggested relevant tags:
Young Adult
J Fiction
mystery
science fiction
fantasy
realistic fiction
poetry
Twilight
Wimpy Kid
39 Clues
romance
blogs
news
western

Tags are not limited to those listed above. These are merely given as examples of the kinds of tags you may want to use. If you would like more information about tags, please just ask! Jennifer, Sarah, or Sharon would be happy to help you understand and utilize this awesome tool. It will make searching easier down the road.

While this blog was created with a vision in mind, we understand that it may evolve to meet the needs of our department. Let's see where this takes us!
