I am sharing these links that I got from a posting on LM_NET. If you are a librarian and not a member of this listserv you must join immediately. I can't tell you how many times the members have helped me out, quickly, or volunteered for a project I was doing. There are 1000's of members all over the world. It's a great networking opportunity.

So on to the list - NY Times Notable Books of 2012. Here are two that I take special note of since I teach elementary students but there are many more lists.
New York Times Best Notable Children’s Books

* Out of the picture books listed I've read Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin to my boys and we loved it.
New York Times Best Books Graphic Novels

There will be many more lists coming out so it's nice to take a peek at the lists and see what your library owns or what you may need to buy. It always makes me feel good to say "Oh, we already own that". It makes me feel like I'm doing a good job selecting books for my students.
