What an interesting way to get people interested in reading! Book trailers are like movie trailers, but for books! You can find them all over the internet now, but here is a site that's featuring them on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/booktrailers

Jan Walsh, Washington State Librarian, announced her spring 2008 book selections. The theme this season is "Exploring Washington."  The web page states, As winter finally fades and Washington reluctantly agrees that it is
spring, we emerge with outdoor zeal to explore the splendor of this vast
state with its mountains and rivers, its beaches and forests, and its
cities and rural areas. Hikers, nature lovers, city explorers, wine
aficionados and children, whether they are curious, contemplative or
passionate for physical outdoor activity, will find a book that guides
them in exploring the Evergreen State. Whether one is a consummate
planner or freewheeling explorer, there is something to entice everyone.

A new one-page sampling bibliography "Science Fiction and Fantasy Set in the Northwest" has been posted to  the Washington State Library "Washington Resources" webpage.  Enjoy!
