Online Courses Preview
Although I have seen several places offering online library courses, Simmons is one of the first I have noticed offering several for youth librarians. These include Keeping Up with YA Reading, Anime & Manga, and The Newbery Award.

Misrule
Website for Australian children’s books with reviews, interviews and articles, links and a discussion board.

Yahooligans!
Yahoo’s version of its site directory specifically for kids. It has great sites that will keep kids happily looking at pictures of animals, playing online games, reading jokes, or finding out about their favorite subject for hours.

KidsClick
A directory of websites for children, selected by librarians. The sites are consistently high quality and of interest to children, parents, teachers and librarians who work with children.

no flying, no tights
What a great site! News and reviews on graphic novels for teens with categories including superheroes, fantasy, science fiction, humor, realism, action and adventure, and historical fiction. The reviews are wonderfully complete giving the reader a real sense of the graphic novel, which we all know is impossible to judge from their covers.

The Wide Window
Just stumbled across this blog for school and youth librarians. A selection of very good articles.

Richie’s Picks
This teacher’s picks of great books for kids and teens are emailed out to over 3,000 people. He has compiled lists of the best books from 1999-2002 and is currently compiling his top choices for 2003. Each book listed has a complete review included. Great site!

Brodart offers a guide to Graphic Novels, that provides core lists of titles for both libraries and schools, selection criteria and new releases. Definitely a site that I will be adding to my bookmarks.

Comics Worth Reading
This site offers recommendations, reviews, previews and more about comic books, all in a blog format. Graphic novels are also included, making this welcome information to people selecting graphic novels for libraries.
