Tandem Library Group Launches Book Blog for Librarians

SLJ Staff -- School Library Journal, 9/11/2007 2:10:00 PM

There’s a new blog exclusively for librarians that discusses the hottest new books and trends in children’s and young adult literature.

Launched by Tandem Library Books, which recently changed its name from Sagebrush, Tandem Insights is written by certified teachers and librarians with MLS degrees, who are a part of Tandem Library Books’ collection development team.

The goal, says Collection Development Team Manager Emily Jones, is to help librarians and teachers strenghten their collections with quality titles. “My team reads thousands of books each year across all reading levels, subject matters, and genres,” says Jones, who has an MLS. “We are excited about the opportunity to share our thoughts about great books with a wider audience.”

The new blog is available on the Tandem Library Books Web site by clicking on the “Tandem Insights” button.
