[ISLMA-Share] Blue Ribbon

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I tried all last year to get Blue Ribbon to respond to me.  Initially got
emails but when I tried to tighten up the dates, etc. I never could reach
them by phone or email.  I am TOTALLY fed up with Scholastic, too. New rep
every time I turn around.  Get one trained as to what you want (just
quality books please) then they are gone.  Maybe a bunch of us need to get
together and start A business!!  I have readers hungry for books but out in
the sticks there just aren't great options.
