You've been busy nominating your favorites...now you can share them with teen readers who are hungry for books! The blog Guys Lit Wire, who has supplied us with a range of panelists past and present (including, full disclosure, yours truly, who is the webmaster over there), is putting on another Book Fair for Ballou High School.
According to Colleen Mondor, GLW's founder, budget cuts in DC mean that libraries are suffering again, and Ballou HS still has a ways to go before their library reaches the ALA standard of 11 books per student. So, for the next 2 weeks, GLW is holding a virtual book fair, with a huge list of amazing reads that you can buy and send directly to Ballou's librarian via Powells.com.
Go read more about it here, check out the great photos of their slowly-growing library, and donate!
