Marketing to tweens

I always (mostly) feel so relieved after I hear from people who work for publishing houses. There seems to be, especially for people new to the library world, a fear of the publishing world. It's as if librarians are the good guys, so what does that make publishers? Well, in my opinion, they are good guys too. It seems that their mission is very similar to ours: get good books in the hands of people. It's really exciting. It's actually really inspiring and makes you realize how important every step of the book process is to the final goal. Librarians need the publishers and they need us too!
