The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), the fastest-growing division of the American Library Association (ALA), announced this week that Dungeons & Dragons, a subsidiary of Wizards of the Coast, Inc., is the 2008 Corporate Sponsor for Teen Tech Week, taking place March 2-8. D&D!! How cool is that?
Registration information, resources, products and more can be found at the Teen Tech Week Web site, www.ala.org/teentechweek.

There’s a new graphic novel out that is a tie-in with the NBC series “Heroes”. If you have teens (or adults even) who are fans of the show, this is a must-have. It’s a compilation of comics that were written on the NBC website between episodes during Season 1 of the show.
A review in Publisher’s Weekly Comics Week newsletter calls the book “An impressively readable melding of TV and comics storytelling.” (Isn’t the cover gorgeous too?)
Fans of the show are going to be clamoring for this book, and with the writer’s strike continuing, they’re going to need their Heroes “fix” pretty soon.
