Library Book Blogs: The good the bad and the ugly

"Awful Library Books," one of my favorite blogs , has a new address and a new look. If you haven't seen this site, you should definitely check it out. It's a great reminder of the importance of weeding!



Afterward, you can cleanse your eyeballs by spending some time on my other favorite site, BibliOdyssey.

Inside Edition takes on the library

Thanks Lisa!
