Orca sends Generation Us to 308 MPs...
 Following Canada's withdrawal from the Kyoto Accord at the Durban Conference on Climate Change in December, Orca Book Publishers has sent a copy of Dr. Andrew Weaver's book, Generation Us-The Challenge of Global Warming, to all 308 Members of Parliament.
Generation Us, part of the Rapid Reads series, explains the phenomenon of global warming, outlines the threat it presents to future generations and offers a path toward solutions to the problem. Let's hope our MPs get the message. Read the full press release.

Connecting with Struggling Readers: Resources, Tips, and Advice to Engage and Inspire
Jan 31, 2012. 1 pm CST In this digital age, teachers and librarians need to be on the lookout for new ways to connect with readers-especially those who struggle. In this free, hour-long webinar, a lively panel including Nick Glass from teachingbooks.net, Andrew Wooldridge from Orca Book Publishers, public librarian Christin Hirleman from South Carolina and Tim McHugh from Saddleback Educational Publishing, will discuss strategies and resources -both books and classroom materials-to help engage struggling readers. You'll also hear tips and tricks from the field, suggestions for display techniques to improve library circulation, and much more. Booklist Books for Youth Senior Editor Ian Chipman moderates.
Five registrants, chosen at random, will receive a library of compelling novels for struggling readers from Orca Book Publishers. And if you are looking for more information on reaching those - who for whatever reason - struggle with reading, please visit www.reachingreluctantreaders.com.
