Young Adults
An introduction to the genres which comprise their literature. Includes an annotated bibliography based on the NLS publications Talking Book Topics and Braille Book Review from January-February 2002 to the present. If you think YA fiction is boring, simplistic, or too cute--think again! There is something for every taste--even adults may find something of interest--perhaps, to share with a child, grandchild, nephew or neice or young friend or as a shorter read and change of pace. Facilitated by David Faucheux.

Blogs
On Friday, December 31, 2004, ABC World News Tonight chose bloggers as one of their people of the year. They profiled an 11-year-old video blogger and mentioned the influence of bloggers on the presidential election. I have maintained an audio blog since May 9, 2004 and shall discuss how I got started, why I blog, and where my ideas come from. I shall also play a sample of two of what I think were some of my best items. Come join me and maybe you'll want to start your own blog. Facilitated by David Faucheux.
