Webcast Recap: New Books by Favorite Authors From the JLG Webinar Series

By: Deborah B. Ford | November 01, 2016 | Shelf Life

WishOn today’s webcast I chatted with Sara Pennypacker, Barbara O’Connor, and Candace Fleming. From a giant squid, to a girl who makes the same silent wish every day, and new characters for independent readers, these new books from authors you know and love will fly off the shelves. In addition to providing you with great selections, Junior Library Guild is building resources to help you use these titles. Check out our new JLG Booktalks to Go Fall 2016 LiveBinder. JLG BTG titles are added to our Pinterest board and tweeted out by following Deborah B. Ford. Look for book trailers and archived webcasts on our JLG YouTube Playlists. Thanks to Jeanette, BTG will now be added to the book detail page. This is a direct link to the resources in the binder. This webcast will be archived and posted on the JLG website at a later date. Your certificate of attendance can be reprinted by watching the archived video for at least ten minutes. Join us for our next national webcast on at 3:00 EDT when Deb and I will share some of our favorite debut authors and illustrators from the fall season.  This webcast is for everyone!
