I would love to have suggestions for Adult books that are appropriate for senior high girls. Obviously no sex scenes in every chapter. They do read Jodi Picoult and Mary Higgins Clark but need some more ideas.

Our students like Nicholas Sparks books and a couple by James Patterson, Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas and Sam's Letters to Jennifer.

I, too, would like to have ideas for certain groups of students. My niece once gave me a bookmark that was titled "If you like..., you'll also like...." This would be helpful when you have exhausted a specific author but would like books in the same genre. Could we work together to come up with some lists like this?
To answer Janet's question - My girls also like Nicholas Sparks, as well as Patricia Cornwell if you want to add some mystery to the mix. Janette Oke is always good for a wholesome historical fiction series.

What do you think about the Library/Media Specialists Day program that ESU 10 offers? What are some things you would like to change? What are some issues you would like to see addressed?

I especially like the sharing of ideas among peers. The sessions have been of value as well, but it is just refreshing to realize we are not alone in our struggles and successes. Networking with fellow media specialists gives everyone a chance to share and learn...I'm quite pleased with them to this point. I would like to know how other districts handle more than one learning center with one media specialist in charge with paras manning the centers in the absence of the the media specialist. As budgets get tighter we'll see more of this happening and if we're not already there we will be and it would be good to have suggestions on how to handle this situation.

I have a student that would like to publish some of his writing. Does anyone know of any place or website where he could send his writing? Any suggestions at all would be helpful.

Jeanne, I had a student a couple of years ago who used http://www.lulu.com to publish her work. That might be the way to go for your student. See what you think. - Deanna
