HIT-> Teenagers talking about books

["Matthew Penn (LIS)" <mpenn@LUNA.CAS.USF.EDU>]

Thank you to all of the people who responded to my question of where can
I find a listserv or chat group of teenagers talking about YAlit. Most of
them were like myself and wanted to find out what I found out.
One suggestion was that I could try a group like Prodigy.  But the price
 might keep many young adults off it.
     When it looked like I wasn't going to get what I wanted, I decided to
go another route.  We have a local network sponsored by the Hillsborough
Co. School system and I tried that.  There are many students on it but
none were talking about books.  I formed my own chat group called Joy
Book Club and had my first meeting Monday.  It went pretty well.  I think
when more students hear about it, it will get better.  My suggestion is
try a local freenet and create your own place where teen are talking
about books.
