Professional Blog. The Association for Library Service to Children, or ALSC, blog offers great resources for information professionals working with children. Whether at a school library, public library, or something else altogether, ALSC bloggers share great, concrete strategies and ideas for planning and carrying out programs. Chock full of full program plans, book recommendations, and personal experiences of librarians "on the ground," ALSC is a great place to browse when looking for new ideas. The blog is relatively easy to navigate; tags show topics as well as blog authors, and readers can peruse full articles without having to click on to separate pages. Authors post pictures with program plans so that readers can get a better idea of program outcomes. The ALSC blog also offers posts for librarians who want to stretch themselves professionally; a recent post was dedicated to learning about students with disabilities. It not only featured the authors personal experiences, but also children's books that address different disabilities. The ALSC blog is an excellent resource for those who want to stay connected with the professional organization and grow as professionals in between conference. Highly recommended, ****.
