Librarians,
Many of you dont' know this, but I am a pop culture Junkie! I mean that in total honesty. I can sit and read back issues of Entertainment Weekly for hours. I have a stack of them going back to when I was in high school. Let's agree that I love that magazine and all the pop culture stuff it tells me.
What has me posting about it is what was on the front of the EW.com site today. Tomorrow is the release of "13 Reasons Why" on paperback, and EW did an interview with Jay Asher, the books author. You can check out the interview here, and you can learn about Jay Asher here. You can also be excited for his next book, coauthored with Carolyn Mackler and titled "The Future of Us" about two teens who log onto AOL in the mid 1990's and discover their facebook pages in 2011. Can it get more awesome than that?

P.S. If you haven't checked out the discussion boards yet, I would encourage you do to so. Gordon has some awesome stuff going on there and it never hurt anyone to put in your two cents.

Get Excited!!!
All,
I just wanted to drop a line because 1: I'm a terrible person and let summer get the best of my blogging. I will do a much better job. I didn't even know about the Wall Street Journal article until yesterday. I know, FAIL!
2: Gordon sent the first program in a box out on Wednesday. It was the Japanese tea set. Don't worry, it'll come back in a month's time (maybe sooner) and then you can check it out for your library. Don't forget, we also have a Hunger Games program in a box and a Blue Balliet box. Both of those are available for shipping RIGHT NOW and can be to your library for the low, low price of only $10.
Contact someone on the exec board to find out how you can get one sent to your library right away!
Lastly, I hope you have all been waiting in anticipation for our Fall meeting. If you're going to ask questions like "When is it" we'll have to get back to you. What I can tell you is that our topic of discussion will be intellectual freedom. We are hoping to have someone from the Library Commission come and talk to us about the current challenges in intellectual freedom, as well as the opportunites we can take advantage of with students and patrons to talk about the various aspects of intellectual freedom.
Be well! Stay cool, and keep being awesome.
