I know our district librarian is dismayed by the price increases and she's actively looking at alternatives. Follett is alienating a lot of customers.

Thanks! Have a wonderful unboxing day!

Yay!!! So much fun will be happening in your library! What kind of sticker printer did you choose?

That is so awesome! Your staff and students will love it!

This is awesome! Where did you find it?

I read this and enjoyed it, but it's typical of Anne Tyler's books, which are often more a character study than plot-driven novels.

Exactly! Publishers may not care but high school students definitely care about page length. Longer books = fewer readers. I've stopped buying fiction over 400 pgs long for my HS library unless it's super popular because my students don't read them. I'm weeding & most bks on the list are long.

Yes! I’m struggling with it too. I used to teach the easy-bib add-on, then Google Docs discontinued it and made Google Citations and it hasn’t worked well for months. *sob*

Yes! My constant mantra when weeding: We are not archivists, we are not archivists, we are not archivists...

I so loved this book!

That's awesome!

That's so rough, Kelly. My heart goes out to you and your husband. My sister-in-law had colon cancer a few years ago at age 40, and they only caught it because the doctor was being super proactive (she had no symptoms). 45 is still too old for first screenings for many people.

YES! It's so so frustrating. Grrrr....

I hope you have a speedy and easy recovery!

Absolutely! Librarians are the best at sharing expertise and ideas and supporting each other!

Thank you! These are great ideas!
