Child_lit mailing list

For anyone who likes keeping up on news having to do with children's literature and/or wants to join a virtual community of people who are interested in children's literature more generally, I would suggest joining the child_lit list serve.

To give you a taste of the types of conversations that we have I went back to look over the emails from the last several days. Right now I'm following a spirited debate about religious objections (and, for a few, praise) to Philip Pullman's Dark Materials Trilogy. (More on that later.) Yesterday there was a strand of discussion on "basketball poetry" and representations of jail/prisons.

The only downside to the list is that it can fill up your box pretty quickly! There is an option to subscribe and receive everything in a a daily "batch" email.
