Hi- I love this list! I feel that I get so much from the list, but give
so little. To remedy this I though I would provide a list of favorite
books as suggested by the volunteer student library aides at Lourdes
High School (Rochester, MN). I thought Fiction_l'ers might enjoy seeing
it as a snapshot of favorites for older teens, since most of the library
aides are in 12th grade. I told the students they could suggest any
title, a current favorite or a life-long favorite. In addition, we are
just finishing a "Favorite Book Contest" were the student body uses
clues from the daily bulletin and to complete the form and win several
different prizes.

I would be interested in other school/pub library aide lists if they are
out there.
Thanks for being such a great collection of people. ~ST

Shirley, Thank you for this list. I think I will do something like this
with our public library pages. I think they would like this, and it would
be something for a display in our Teen section. Also, I have
friends/former colleagues who are YA Librarians, who may also appreciate
this. Julie A. Roberts [removed]@rolling-meadows.lib.il.us
