The Cooperative Children's Book Center is a fantastic resource here in Wisconsin and I'm on the listserv with two hats on, my library aide hat and my author hat. For the second half of February, the discussion is focused on 2011 debuts and they've included a link to direct participants to the Elevensies 2011 group!

From the CCBC site:
The CCBC-Net Community includes librarians, teachers, university educators and students, authors, artists, editors, publishers, and other adults with an interest in literature for the young.
Here's a link to join the listserv and read posts or join the discussion.
