Teen Tech Week by YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Assoc.)

This sounds pretty cool. “Teen Tech Week 2010 is March 7-13!
Teen Tech Week is a national initiative aimed at teens, librarians, educators, parents, and other concerned adults meant to encourage teens to take advantage of libraries' nonprint resources. The 2010 theme — Learn Create Share @ your library — fosters teen creativity and positions the library as a physical and virtual place for safe exploration of the many types of technology available at libraries, including DVDs, music, gaming, video production, online homework help, social networking, tech workshops, audiobooks and more.” (Direct from the YALSA Site)

Sourcebooks, one of the companies that provide me with books to review has jumped on Teen Tech Week to also promote teens reading. Their site has a bunch of very cool things going on to coincide with Teen Tech Week.

TeenFire is a social networking site that promotes the titles that Sourcebooks represents but it also promotes reading in general. Check out TeenFire and Teen Tech Week. The more kids we can get to read, the less we have to worry about their future!

Jeaniene Frost Interview (Author of the Night Huntress Series)

First I stand in awe of Ruthie at the Books, Books and More Books Site. Her productivity and creativity are prodigious. Then on to the interview, Ruthie has a great interview with Jeaniene Frost on her blot. Jeaniene is the author of the Night Huntress Series. [(1. Halfway to the Grave (2007); 2. One Foot in the Grave (2008); 3. At Grave's End (2009)] Ruthie is running another contest on winning one of Frost’s books. So click on any of the links to jump over to Ruthie’s site, read the interview and enter the contest. I entered and no offense, but I hope I win, the books look really good!
