Mackin’s Books In Bloom Blog For Teachers And Librarians Showcases Highly Recommended K-12 Books

April 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Mackin Educational Resources has launched its new Books in Bloom blog as part of its wide spectrum of useful collection development tools and information provided for teachers and librarians.

The Books in Bloom blog, written by Mackin’s professional collection development librarians, highlights high-quality, current fiction and nonfiction K-12 books. For each featured title, Mackin’s librarians will address what makes the book high-quality, why students are likely to enjoy the book and how the book may be used in the school’s curriculum. Links within the Books in Bloom blog allow educators to view complete title information on Mackin.com.

To stay informed and offer the best support to educators in developing and improving their classroom and library collections, Mackin’s librarians continually meet with publishers and study review journals, catalogs and advance book samples. The Books in Bloom blog accompanies Mackin’s thousands of prepared title lists, current reviews, Publisher Showcase, book award lists and custom collection development and management services to help educators provide the best resources available to students.

Educators can subscribe to Mackin’s blog via email or RSS feed. For further information, visit Mackin.com or call 800-245-9540.
