Here are the results. Thank you to everyone!!!
Although this is not all inclusive, I wanted to share with you the
Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) electronic discussion
lists list.
http://www.ala.org/ala/alsc/alscnews/alscdisclist/electronicdiscussion.h
The link below includes a list of different blogs from different libraries. I know
that is not exactly what you are looking for, but it might be a start?
Good luck!

I am taking a grad class on wiki's and blogs through the University of
Rhode Island and came across this site. Hopefully you haven't already
had ten responses all mentioning this one.

Anne Oelke shared the following presentation:
Bill, I've pasted below an excerpt from a list I created a couple years
ago for a presentation to our state library media association. It is not
all inclusive, nor does it include blogs or podcasts, but it does have a
few listservs for you.
CCBC_Net is another Wisconsin based list, coming from the CCBC,
Cooperative Children’s Book Center. CCBC-Net is a listserv encouraging
awareness and discussion of ideas and issues critical to literature for
children and young adults. CCBC-Net members explore a wide range of
topics in contemporary literature for youth, including multicultural
literature, translated books, outstanding, and award-winning books,
equity themes and topics, the book arts and book publishing, and more.
What a wonderful way to continue the dialog about children’s literature
with our own very special experts such as Megan Schleisman, Ginny Moore
Kruse, and Eliza Dresang as well as librarians from across the U.S.
Information on CCBC-Net is available at
http://www.soemadison.wisc.edu/ccbc/ccbcnet/default.asp The number of
daily messages can vary, depending upon the book(s) being discussed, but
usually averages less than 5 per day. February had about 75 messages for
the month. This list is also archived and the archives are open to the
public. The archives are do not have a search feature, but there is an
index.
Another Childrens’s literature list is Child_Lit. Child_Lit is an
unmoderated discussion group convened for the express purpose of
examining the theory and criticism of literature for children and young
adults. The list exists for anyone interested in discussing aspects of
these broad fields, including authorship, illustration, publication,
promotion, readership, reception, criticism and literature's changing
social functions and implications. child_lit is specifically conceived
to foster the sharing of ideas by researchers engaged in original
scholarship. The 'purpose' per se is to be occasionally revisited and
possibly revised to meet the evolving needs of the discussion group, but
discussants are instructed to keep the prevailing version of the purpose
in mind when posting discussion topics. Topics off the point are
discouraged. Information of Child_Lit can be found at
http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~mjoseph/childlit/about.html
<http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/%7Emjoseph/childlit/about.html> This list is
archived, but the archives are only available to list members.
OZTL_NET is a discussion list for information professionals working in
Australian schools. They also have a searchable archive, although you
need to be aware of a few quirks in terms that we may use compared to
those in use in Australia. They are called teacher-librarians, a term I
really think is appropriate and accurate. They also “stocktake” at the
end of the year instead of taking inventory. Some of the members of
OZTL_NET are also LM_Net members.

School Librarians Network is a forum where UK school librarians (and
MROs) can exchange news, views and ideas and give each other mutual
support on such issues as GNVQ support; budget preparation; IT support
generally; literacy; opening hours; staffing; book selection;
information skills, etc. This is a yahoo group with 520 members and
generating 700-1000 messages each month.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sln/ The archives of messages for yahoo
groups are only open to members of the group.
YALSA-BK is an open list for book discussion that invites
subscribers to discuss specific titles, as well as other issues
concerning young adult reading and young adult literature.
Subscribers will also learn what has been nominated for Best
Books for Young Adults, Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults and
Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers and be able to
discuss those books. Information on subscribing to this list may
be found at:
http://www.ala.org/ala/yalsa/electronicresourcesb/websitesmailing.htm
For those who are dealing with technology on a daily basis, especially
as technology coordinators, EDTech may be a useful list. This list was
conceived to bring together students, faculty, and "interested others"
in the field of educational technology to share ideas and information.
There are more than 3500 subscribers from about 50 countries on the
EDTECH list. This is a moderated list, that is, each posting is first
read and approved by a human moderator before it is sent to the list
members. Information on EDTech is available at
http://www.h-net.msu.edu/~edweb/ <http://www.h-net.msu.edu/%7Eedweb/>
Edtech seems to average 15-20 messages each day.
WIPK-12 http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/dpi/dltcl/imt/wi_pk12.html
http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/dlcl/imt/listserv.html
general PK-12 education email discussion list called *WIPK-12*. This
list is open to DPI staff and educators throughout the state. WIPK-12 is
designed to facilitate interactive, electronic communication among the
Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and the state's PK-12
education community. This list has just a few messages each day.
Try http://technorati.com which provides a searchable database of blogs, etc. A
search on "libraries" comes up with about 1,233 hits!
Again, thank you to everyone.
