Dickens Resource Roundup: Web and Video
On the web Even without a Dickens bicentennial to ramp them up, there are lots of Dickens sites, containing links to other sites containing links to lesson plans, online biographies, historical and social background material.

Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, which makes this coming Tuesday his bicentennial.

Read MoreOscar Night for Librarians
Actually, it’s not at night, but first thing in the morning. And there are no backless evening gowns or acceptance speeches (those come later). But school and public librarians who were unable to attend the ALA’s midwinter conference, held this year in Dallas, tuned in as breathlessly as any movie-lover to the live webcast of…
