Hi All, Would you like to develop your book reviewing skills? Discuss newly published books with other school and youth services librarians? Get some new books for free? Then consider joining MSL's statewide book review group https://www.maine.gov/msl/libs/services/children.htm.

We hold monthly in-person book review sharing sessions on the second Wednesdays at Portland Public Library where we discuss the latest materials from infant board books to middle school nonfiction titles to teen fiction and graphic novels. Reviewers who can't travel may participate virtually via Zoom link but you must be on van delivery so you can receive books to evaluate. Participants may keep the books they review for their own libraries.

Check out our review blog at http://www.mslbookreview.org/blog/search-book-reviews/ .

For more information or to sign up for the group, contact Elaine Bissonnette at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or 871-1766 or Deb Clark at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or 871-1765. Hope you can join us. Deb
