Get started on your summer reading list by checking out the American Library Association Web site link to Booklist. For more than 90 years, Booklist magazine has been the librarian's leading choice for reviews of the latest books and (more recently) electronic media. Every year, it reviews nearly 4,000 books for adults, more than 2,500 titles for children, more than 500 reference books and electronic reference tools and 1,000 other audiovisual materials. Booklist also publishes a wide variety of feature articles including author interviews, bibliographies, book-related essays by well-known writers and a selection of columns. The revised online version is designed to introduce this resource to a new group of readers and to provide current subscribers with additional services and points of access.

Remember to bring that sunblock as you head to the public pools and beaches—June is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. The Skin Cancer Foundation emphasizes that skin cancer is the most common and most rapidly increasing form of cancer in the U.S. and that one in six Americans will develop it. In addition to giving tips on self-examination and how to identify potentially cancerous growths, the site offers a wide range of preventative measures, a physicians "finder link" and separate links aimed at outdoor workers, children and older adults. http://www.ppsinc.org/skincancer.htm
