		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/41puuigdokl-_sl500_aa300_.jpg" />This summer Scholastic announced that it had <a href="http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/financial-reporting/article/43952-scholastic-turns-a-profit.html" target="_blank">recouped its losses from the last fiscal year</a> and is taking its 60-year-old Book Clubs program, whereby children order books from flimsy paper catalogues, to Web 5.0., <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/02/business/advertisingemail/02adco.html?_r=1&amp;pagewanted=print" target="_blank"><em>The Times</em> reports</a>.</p>
<p>Scholastic has heavily renovated its online ordering option, called COOL (Clubs Ordering Online) and will soon offer a Facebook page for teachers. They're also partnering with Teach for America.</p>
<p>The article hypes the company's Twitter feed, which is currently promoting the fact that Book Clubs "<a href="http://twitter.com/Scholastic/status/22807018217" target="_blank">has the 1st book to be published on the oil spill in the gulf</a>." Childhood reading has never been more fun!</p>
<p>The club offers books that aren't published by Scholastic, in addition to the many ones that are. Already a top-seller for the fall season? <em>Freedom</em>.</p>
