To all planning to attend the ALA Annual Conference:
  Please consider putting some time aside on Monday, June 23 from 2-4 p.m. to take part in ALSC's Book Discussion and Evaluation Group.
  The art of book discussion is a learned skill: one must practice, read, and practice some more. Participants will pre-register and be assigned a small list of books. Choose from materials for preschool to 2nd grade, 3rd through 6th grade, or 5th through 8th grade.

Each person reads his/her titles, takes notes, and prepares for a critical, facilitated discussion of those books. Great for those brand-new to children's services, those from small systems eager to talk about books with colleagues, and members who just love a good book discussion. To pre-register, call the ALSC Office at (800) 545$33, ext. 2166 or e-mail Meredith Parets at mparets at ala.org . If you have any questions about the discussion group, please e-mail Melissa Yurechko at melissay at darien.lib.ct.us
