About this Blog

Tandem Insights is a children's literature blog written by Tandem Library Books' Collection Development Team.

From the Team:

"We choose to blog about our favorite titles of the hundreds of thousands of books we carry.  We know what a large task it is to keep up with what's new in children's and young adult lit, and our goal is to highlight the best books for our customers." 

Blog Policy:

"Selected by librarians for librarians."  The books featured on this blog are chosen by the librarians and teachers on the Collection Development Team.  Publishers have no say in which books we blog about.  The Sales and Marketing Departments have no say in which books we blog about.  We write about the titles we think will appeal to the librarians and teachers who read this blog.
