[LM_NET] TARGET: Books about Loss

[Sarah Uthoff <suthoff@MCHSI.COM>]

I have a rather specific request. I'm looking for popular fiction that show 
the main characters are suffering a loss, but not involving a death (e.g.loss 
of job, loss of a sense, etc.)The instructor would prefer adult books, but I 
think young adult and even children's books might work.

Subject: [LM_NET] Childrens' Book Week
Date:    Thu, 31 Jan 2008 12:41:07 +0000

> Moving Childrens' Book Week to May means that many of us will probably not be 
> able to celebrate now.  Many schools across the country finish a school year in 
> mid-late May and there are just too many things going on during those last 
> couple of weeks to
> try to celebrate CBW.  We have Read Across America in March, National Library 
> Week in April, plus National Poetry Month in April.  It just seems like overkill 
> to then have CBW in May.  My theory is that it was changed with public libraries 
> in mind.  They
> have their summer reading program kickoff in early June and this helps them 
> build up support and excitement for that.  Unfortunately, I think it is now 
> going to go by the wayside at a lot of school libraries.
