What’s your quilty pleasure?

I was sitting with a group of people at ALA midwinter. Making small talk, one woman asked what are you reading now? Not knowing the people very well, I thought do I tell them what I am really reading (guilty pleasure) or what what I am reading (work related). One woman broke the ice and said that she is a Sookie Stackhouse fan. The series is written by Charlaine Harris. Laughter broke out – and each one of us admitted that we were all reading these books.

Care to share your current guilty pleasure book?

Be Creative in 2009 by Suggesting 2011 Slogan/2012 Theme

It is time to ask for suggestions for the upcoming CSLP Summer Reading Programs. We are looking for your 1 to 5 top suggestions for:
. 2011 World Culture/World Travel Children’s Slogan
. 2011 World Culture/World Travel Teen Slogan
. 2012 Theme

From these Karen Balsen will filter out 5 top choices from New York State. These will be included in the voting that takes place at the CSLP conference in April.

The slogan is the “catchy” phrase associated with that year’s theme.  Check the CSLP website for past slogans and themes.

Please have all suggestions in to Jennifer by February 19th by leaving a comment on this post or sending email.
