While I am a children’s librarian, neither my blog or my twitter feed are really meant for children.

Hi, Miss Julie!
Thanks for the kind words about our website in your Blog Roll! Check back every week for new reviews. Coming soon…the 2010 Best Books for Babies list.
Can’t wait for the 2010 books for babies list. Yay!
Do you think they’ll let us have grilled cheese sandwiches during our Cybils discussions? What a wonderful resource you’ve got here. I will have not seen some of the blogs in your blogroll, so I better be off …
Glad to meet you!
Nice to meet you, too! I think chances are high that discussions of easy readers might just lend themselves to a mention of grilled cheese occasionally…I know I’ll be looking out for an opportunity!
Hey miss Julie!
Miss Parry here (‘member me? The good ole days at Dominican?) Anyway, I enjoyed visiting your site, got some good tips, will be back! I ended up here when I saw on the Cybils site that you’re on the panel this year. Congratulations and keep up the good work 🙂
Hey, Parry, thanks for stopping by! I’m glad you found the blog useful. What are you up to these days?

Hi Julie!
I just wanted to write you real quick and say how much I enjoy your blog – the information, the tone, the whole shebang. It’s a really great spot on the web for me, a fellow youth services librarian, to explore the field a bit more and continue developing professionally.
May I say, I love the teacup background motif!
