Here's what I'm looking for:
- Independent bookstores (locally owned) that either specialize in children's books or have large children's book sections.
- Libraries with wonderful children's departments. It can either be a specific branch or a large system. It can be a new library, a remodeled library or one that's been around forever.
- What do you like about the library or bookstore? What do they do well? What impresses you? Do you like their website? If you've been there several times, why do you keep coming back?
I have lots of bookstore resources posted on the sidebar and a long list of independent bookstores. For an example of a bookstore profile, here's one I just posted about Powells in Portland, Oregon.
If you'd be willing to write a guest post, you can e-mail me at wizardwireless [at] gmail [dot] com or leave a note in the comments.
Hi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI frequent two independent bookstores that have lovely children's sections: Olsson's in Alexandria, VA and The Winchester Book Gallery in Winchester, VA. I would be happy to write about one or both of these on your blog. Great idea!

Jill,
ReplyDeleteThat would be terrific. If you e-mail me profiles of either or both, I'll post them on my blog under your name. Thank you!
I am currently behind in all my projects, but I'd be happy to submit profiles of both Island Books and All For Kids Books here in Seattle and Mercer Island, WA.
ReplyDeleteAlkelda,
ReplyDeleteThat would be lovely!
