The amount of traffic on rec.arts.books is getting very heavy.  I note after reading it for several weeks that the volume of postings specifically regarding children's books is sufficient that it would merit a seperate group, and thereby also reduce traffic on rec.arts.books to a more managable level.  Also, children's books are a legitimate area for discussion on their own merits.  We're not talking kiddie lit here.  I envision the tenor of the discussion would be similar to what is currently seen on rec.arts.books.  I am open to discussion of any variation of the name and a charter.  It's time to give children's books their due on the net.   --  Tim Wadham, Asst. Manager/Children's Librarian Polk-Wisdom Library 7151 Library Ln.
