Attend Walden book club, get PDPs
I received this through the MLA listserv today:
What is the Walden Media Book Club?
Starting in October 2007, one night each month from 5:00-7:00 p.m., Walden Media will host a group of 10-15 fourth through eighth-grade teachers, school librarians and children’s librarians, to discuss a book that is newly-released or in “galley” form (not published yet). Each meeting will focus on a new work of young adult literature published by Walden Media, including:
- Mike Lupica’s The Comeback Kid Kids: Two-Minute Drill
- Ingrid Law’s Savvy
- Lauren St. John’s The White Giraffe and Dolphin Song
- Michael Reisman’s Simon Bloom, The Gravity Keeper
The books are FREE, as are dinner and parking, and you can even earn PDPs (Professional Development Points).
Join the book club with real FREE benefits! To find out all the details, including the schedule of nights, and what’s new with Walden Media, visit http://www.walden.com/walden/walden/book-club.php.
Free food, free books (some of them sneak peeks!), free parking (which, in downtown Boston, is a *huge* score), PDPs, and networking with librarians in/near Boston. I’m not even a YA librarian, and I’m tempted to go.
If you happen to attend the upcoming inaugural book club meeting on October 18, leave me a comment with your thoughts, I’d love to hear how it goes.
