Cooperative Children’s Book Center

I stumbled onto the site for the CBBC, or Cooperative Children’s Book Center, quite by accident while following other links, and discovered both archived podcasts and videos discussing the latest in children’s and young adult titles being released. I prefer the videos because of the visuals: book covers are displayed as the librarians discuss the titles. It’s helpful to see what’s new out there in libraryland and what titles I might have missed. If you are not familar with it, the CBBC is a research library of the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It also publishes a journal, and lists of suggested books for children and young adults and is a great resource for librarians and teachers.
