Hi everyone,

I emailed Nicole off-list earlier, but I use FictFact (www.fictfact.com) for discovering new books in a series. You need to register (but it's fast and free), and then you can "follow" the series in which you're interested. They will update your page with upcoming new releases in those series, and even email you when new information is released. I have found it to be very helpful when kids come in to our library asking when a new series book will be released.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Hi Nicole,

Honestly, I will go through the stacks with a laptop and look up if there is another book by an author who is popular. I will do this once a year at least. I also try to keep up with reading Booklist.

Hi Everyone,

When ordering books for your school library, and purchasing one(two or three) that are, let's say "Book 1," how do you find out when "Book 2" comes out in that series? There are just sooooo many books and soooo many authors, I know I can go to each authors individual official website to find out the books in the series, or what is coming out soon/next, BUT is there an easier way?

Thanks
