Blog Name and URL
Tucson Book Slingers, http://book-slingers.blogspot.com/

Libraries:
Children's Services of the Tucson-Pima Public Library

Participants:
Lisa Waite Bunker, others TBD

Community Need & Opportunity:
Libraries need to remain a part of a child's universe; we also need to become familiar with new tools for the creation of communities beyond that which we do in our buildings. This blog is an attempt to create a space where children and teens can share information about the books they are reading.

Vision:
I want kids reading more, viewing the library as community, and seeing how books fit in with their lives.

Goals:
Integrate books and the library with kids' lives: celebrate the joy and the power To position Tucson librarians as someone to talk to, not perpetuate the stereotype. Help children build confidence with technology and self-expression in a safe way and a safe environment.
