I came across a couple of interesting posts (So Tomorrow and Abby the Librarian) about creating reading goals to help make sure you can keep on top of readers advisory for the youngest patrons.  I liked the idea of intentionally trying to read outside the age and genre groups that we tend to gravitate toward, in the interest of improved collection development and readers advisory (in its many forms).

Anyone else doing this sort of thing?  I am considering it–it might be fun to do this as a group, and have some folks to swap favorite titles with at the end of each month.  Let me know if you are up for it!
