Guys Read

Hi, there! I took down the Frog & Toad abulletin board by the story room in record time, this morning (amazing what you can do if you come to work before the patrons arrive!), and slapped up (for lack of imagination) the two posters that came with the "Guys Read" promotional kit. I hope to refine the bulletin board with time, but wanted to alert y'all to what's on display there.

Here's the deal: the general idea is to promote books written BY guys, FOR guys and ABOUT guys. I went through the list of "recommended" books that came with the kit and noted which ones we don't own, as well as providing call #'s for those we do own, to make re-stocking this display easier. Don't forget paperbacks, cassettes & CD's! But here's the short version: pretty much ANYTHING by...

Jon Scieszka
Brian Jacques
Dav Pilkey
Daniel Pinkwater
Richard Peck
Gary Paulsen
Andy Griffiths
Gordon Korman
Jack Gantos
Dan Greenburg
Lloyd Alexander
David Shannon
Eoin Colfer

I'll leave the annotated list (hope you can read my writing!) by the printer at the gazebo--it's worth a browse.
