Welcome!

Hi there! I'm just starting this blog to spread the word about how great Young Adult/Teen books are. Of course this blog is not limited to YA books and I welcome any comments or suggestions on all mind-shattering and just plain fun books.

Librarians help the homeless and the Biblioburro

Okay, this is not directly related to YA books but I thought you all would appreciate a "cool" librarian that provides books to Portland's homeless.  Making a difference is what it's all about.  Link to the article below the picture.

Also perhaps even more inspiring is the Biblioburro, where a teacher travels by burro to bring books to rural children in Columbia.  See the NY Times article at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/20/world/americas/20burro.html.  Be sure and scroll through the slide show.
