At ALA Midwinter Gene and I were lucky enough to attend a special dinner celebrating Nancy Pearl, Library Journal’s Librarian of the Year. Nancy is a dear friend, a national treasure, and a famed lingerie model. To celebrate her new award we are putting our Nancy Pearl T-Shirt on sale until the end of January. ¡Viva El Libro!

P.S. I never get tired of watching our interview with Nancy at BEA last year.

This week’s sponsor is our good friend Talia at Macmillan Library. She’s giving away free Teen Reads Posters to US-based librarians and educators. They’re a great way to create excitement about upcoming books, and the price is right!

Did you know cotton prices are at a 140-year high? Neither did we until our t-shirt supplier informed us that prices are going up - way up. So much so that we are going to have to raise prices for all our shirts starting February 1. So consider this, if not a sale, then at least fair warning.
