Two more Book Slams from BEA: PoliPointPress and Lerner Publishing Group. At ALA we heard from many folks who really enjoyed these podcasts, and we're going to try to keep them coming with new material.

It's on! Details here.

Right now we don't have any official kid's shirts in our store. But both my children (girl 4 and boy 7.5) and Gene's (girl 6) comfortably wear "jr small" sizes of our women's shirts, which is a sign of just how absurdly they are labelled. And, as it happens, our sale is chock full of a lot of those sized shirts. So this is great opportunity to put your kid in reading- and/or library-friendly attire at reduced prices. Sale ends July 21, but many sizes are already sold out.

P.S. A quick recount of our inventory revealed a few more items here and there, so if you already looked for your size in the sale shirts unsuccessfully, it's worth a second glance.
