Additional note to my question:? I should have stated that the gift books are for
kids (toddler to young adult).
Thanks,
Donna

Subject: [LM_NET] TARGET: Books as gifts, advice needed
Greetings everyone,
I need a little input and advice for a program I'm doing next week.
I will be doing a program (1-11/2 hours long) during an open convocation hour
about the childrens and YA award winners for this year.? No problem there--I'm
ready.?
The second?thing they've asked me to do is provide suggestions for books to give
as gifts and answer questions about possible gift books.? Because giving a book
as a gift is such an individual decision,?I'm having a hard time deciding how to
approach this.? I'm thinking about giving some general suggestions aobut how to
keep abreast of new kids books, and databases like NovelList that will
help?people find similar types of stories to a known title or genre.??
So, here's the question:? If you?were given 10-15 minutes to give an audience
(which could include?college students, faculty, library staff, and possibly
others) advice on great books to give as gifts, or general advice related to
this topic, what would you say?
I'll post a hit if there is interest.
Thanks,
Donna
