Links from the Staff - Week of April 12 - 18, 2015

"High on a hill was a lonely book cart
Yodelahee, yodalahee, yodelahee hoooo
There was a music CD that no one else heard

  • And here's one more link I found this weekend while catching up on some publisher newslettersFrom the lovely folks at Penguin Random House Library Marketing:
