October 07, 2016
Here are highlights from the links that I shared on Twitter this week @JensBookPage.

Topics this week include: #BookLists, #DiverseBooks, #HispanicHeritageMonth, #ReadAloud, censorship, chapter books, class size, easy readers, Halloween, libraries, play, reviewing, schools, the Cybils Awards, and toys.
