Here in ChoiceBooks you will find and help create book lists that should make the job of finding titles on a particular subject easier and less strenuous. There are lists from national organizations as well as lists compiled locally with commentary. Our goal is to make these lists relevant to the work we do as librarians, media specialists, classroom teachers, and MLS students. We hope to create a vital space where contributions are welcome and horizons expanded.
