Hi YA Zone @ Rockford Public Library,

Cool zone! Keep up the great work! (Love your paintball splats!) :-)

If you know of any upper-elementary, middle-grade or high school guys who are looking for fun, fast-paced, high-action, funny books that are like video games but are easy-to-read (and did I say funny???) then please tell them to try the AL'S WORLD series!

Readers can check out my Website at www.eliseleonard.com, and if any of your patrons want to take pictures reading my AL'S WORLD books and want to email me the pics, I'll put them up on my Website: www.eliseleonard.com on the FRIENDS page! [They'll be famous! I get hits from all around the WORLD!] Just hit the contact page on my Website to send them to me.

Oh, and the second AL'S WORLD book, KILLER LUNCH LADY, was nominated for an ALA Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers, so if you guys want to vote... go for it! :-)

Thanks for the add!

Author of the AL'S WORLD series:
Book 1: MONDAY MORNING BLITZ
Book 2: KILLER LUNCH LADY
Book 3: SCARED STIFF

Hey, Teens!
Do you like travel adventure and mystery? Find out about the Maya of Mexico's Yucatan and their incredible Loltun Caverns. Just request a copy of Tractrix from your library, your favorite bookstore or online book site like Amazon.com.
Have a great summer! And travel the world with fiction.

Hey all,
May is National Mental Health Month. We are happy to announce readergirlz has chosen Dia Calhoun's book, The Phoenix Dance, as our pick this month.

We hope you can stop by! Her full issue will run at www.readergirlz.com; you can drop her a comment at www.myspace.com/readergirlz, and then chat with everyone, including Diva Dia, at http://groups.myspace.com/readergirlz. Tell us about your favorite shoes!

Hope to see you there! Let's work together to bust the stigma against mental illness.

My mom used to make fun of Mother's Day.
She insisted that being a mother wasn't
something you needed a brass band for.
I can't change my mom's mind -- she died
sixteen years ago. So do me a favor?
Hug yours TWICE today, once for me!

My seniors have just one more week! I've been busy with collecting overdue books all week and I'm totally beat! This is such a battle every year. I can now start concentrating on the rest of the classes - collecting their books. It'll take me till the end of school, I'm afraid. Such is the life of a school librarian - sigh.
Oh, btw, Have a WONDERFUL weekend!
