Drum Roll, please! Today I unveil a project that has:
a) been the reason for my bad blogging behavior, and
b) been my baby for the last 3 months (fyi that's the gestational period of a leopard, so I'm calling this, Project: Baby Leopard...obvi).
Library Love Fest has put together a website for community-wide reading programs! We have hand- selected a variety of titles designed to stimulate discussion, inspire creativity and enhance community involvement.
Virginia and I came up with nine categories that cover a range of subjects, and include a plethora (who doesn't love the word plethora??) of great titles.
| Coming-of-Age | Crème de la Classics |
| Health and Wellness | Historical Highlights |
| Literary Grab Bag | Love & Loss |
| Moving Memoirs | One World, Many Voices |
| Scintillating Suspense |
We offer suggestions on how to organize, plan, and execute your events, and provide helpful resources to get you started.
We would love to hear your feedback, so if you have questions or have chosen a book and would like to share details on how your community responded, please email us at librarylovefest@harpercollins.com.
- Annie
I love this

An idea for a national book of the month was discussed at Midwinter - good timing for this new website :) http://www.thedigitalshift.com/2013/01/ebooks/dcwg-showcase-the-influence-of-libraries-with-national-book-of-the-month/

WOW!! This is fabulous. I serve on our local One Book One Community committee and we are about to start wrestling with the task of selecting a book for 2014. This will really help. Thanks so much.

You chose well :) I have read some of those on my own as well as having them in one of my book clubs and I agree with the picks that I have already read. Now I just have to get to the ones I haven't read yet :)
