Steve Barancik has made a site that offers recommended books for children, advice on how to find/create free kids books, and information for new authors on writing and publishing.  But most of all, his site is filled with great lines that will re-inspire readers about the importance of children’s literature and reading:

“Think. What activity can you encourage that will be more vital to your child’s future than a love of reading?“

YALSA has announced the new Teen Read Week 2006 website.  The site is already filled with great ideas for programs and ways to interpret the Get Active theme.  You could do a Get Physical, Get Active in Politics, Get Outdoors, Get Crafty or many more!
