Best Book Word Clouds

Tired of boring old book lists? How can you share some great teen books in a visually arresting way?

I came across some beautiful word clouds that compile information from best books lists to create a beautiful, engaging design. For a more traditional word cloud, check out the one Erin Daly created for the Hub (YALSA's blog). For a funky, star-shaped cloud, check out this one, created by Gina Beirne.

Youth Services Section

The Wisconsin Library Association's Youth Services Section (YSS) advocates for professional empowerment, collaboration, and innovative, inclusive, and intentional service. To that end, YSS provides a forum and resources for people in Wisconsin's libraries who share a commitment to serving children and young adults, their parents, caregivers, and teachers.

It is a vital, dynamic group whose interests focus on providing quality library service and encouraging literacy and library use. YSS members include public and school library staff, library trustees and library supporters who work together to benefit youth in Wisconsin.
