I love this listserv! Thanks to all who have written to remind me that
the book with the man and dog sprouting wings is Hey, Al! by Yorinks.
The collective intelligence prevails once again.

Subject: seeking Dewey posters
We'd like to put posters on the ends of our non-fiction shelves to help
patrons locate the books they want when they don't care which book; they
just want that "section." Do any of you know of a supplier of posters
featuring simple break-downs of the Dewey Decimal numbers, preferably with
illustrations?
Please reply to kknudson@timberland.lib.wa.us
Thanks!

My son is a long time & serious reader of REDWALL books.
Here is the sequence of books he gave to me:
1. Martain the Warrior
2.Mossflower
3. Outcasts of Redwall
4. Mariel of Redwall
5. The Bellmaker
6. Salamandastron
7. Redwall
8, Mattimeo
9. Pearls of Luttra
And the added note that there is a new book coming soon but
he doesn't know where it will fit.
Happy reading -- Susan

Subject: Re: "Best" lists and book selection
I agree that a lot of so-called "starred" books in SLJ and Booklist
and
all the other review sources are often what my staff calls "librarian"
picks. All are usually excellent reads but can turn into shelf sitters if
you do not booktalk or suggest them for the school assignment or reader's
advisory. We have two branches in our library system, so I usually order
the "Best Books" for the main branch--just to have a copy in our
system.
