Continuing in a similar vein from yesterday's post on Cybils folks with other exciting online endeavors, we just wanted to give a shout-out to our current and former Cybil-ites who either blog or contribute reviews to School Library Journal.
Firstly, the official SLJ bloggers–we're proud to report that 3 out of the 8 blogs on SLJ have been involved in some way with the Cybils. Good Comics for Kids features former GN category organizer Snow Wildsmith, along with other contributors. Just a few months ago, A Chair, A Fireplace & A Tea Cozy–the blog of former Cybil-ite and longtime kidlitosphere blogger Liz Burns–became part of SLJ. And, of course, Round I GN Judge (and repeat Cybils volunteer) Betsy Bird's blog A Fuse #8 Production is a kidlit staple.
We've also got a few more volunteers this year who write reviews for School Library Journal:
- Travis Jonker (FPB Round I), 100 Scope Notes
- Kara Dean (NFPB Round II), Not Just for Kids
- Lisa Von Drasek (EZ Round II), EarlyWord Kids
- Paula Willey (GN Round II), Pink Me
What an impressive bunch of bloggers you all are! We're lucky to have so many talented and enthusiastic folks willing to help us out every year.
