Day of Dialog

School Library Journal's Day of Dialog, a day-long program where librarians, publishers, and authors meet to discuss issues and trends affecting the book and library world for children and teens. It's an opportunity to preview upcoming books and pick up bagloads of advanced reading copies (I assign students to review these for purchase). Among the highlights were a panel discussion on diversity in literature; and a panel on the state of e-books for children. As well, it is a chance to circulate with other teacher-librarians in the city (and country).
