KidderLit in School Library Journal

Lauren Barack has written a very nice article about KidderLit for School Library Journal's newsletter Extra Helping. You can read it online here. Here's a snippet:

"With 2,500 subscribers to TwitterLit alone, Hamel hopes that KidderLit will attract school librarians and teachers looking to give a little twist to their students’ literature needs.

"While any children’s book is fair game for the site, Hamel does like topical themes. During Banned Books Week, a post read simply: 'They murdered him.' It’s a reference to Robert Cormier’s disturbing novel The Chocolate War, a perennial target for book banners."

Plus, I particularly like the article's last paragraph.
