Once again, overwhelmed by the amount of info and sites out there. Do you think that people are creating book-related social networking sites instead of reading?
Glad to hear that reading is up.
Kindles in libraries - sounds challenging to arrange but I'm all for it if the problems about circulation issues can be worked out.
Books on my phone -- this doesn't interest me at all but maybe because I've become an audiobook lover and would rather just plug in my earbuds and listen off my phone. But I think this is probably the future with young people. I went to Japan and even though the manga museum was full of fans reading traditional books they said the format was moving to having them published in phone form.
We've been using "What should I read Next" for a long time for readers' advisory. What's Next is a great tool as well although I've noticed some lapses in it and no longer take it for the be all in answering reference questions about what book is next.
Loved the Reading group choices sites -- great for our patrons who are avid book clubbers. Read up on my latest listen/read, Edgar Sawtelle, and enjoyed the reviews and comments on the book. LitLovers had alot of possibilities too.
The free download of books might be worth looking at when we've got high schoolers panicked about summer reading assignments and the hardbacks are gone.
Other blogs ways more thoughtful and insightful than mine. Nice to read thoughts of my co-workers -- I'm very impressed.
