The 2009 Literature Discovery Tour leaves in February.  This year’s tour organiser (that would be me!) invites  students, parents, educators and librarians (and all book lovers, basically) to participate in the development of our route.

I would love some help finding new and exciting online and offline literature to recommend to others.  The aim of the tour is to foster a sense of reading adventure and encourage wider reading choices.

Please leave a comment if you would like to participate.  Alternatively, email me at discoverlit@gmail.com
