...to be more professional, I will endeavour to share my favorite library related discoveries from this point forward. It has been brought to my attention that I should be more careful about what I write in this blog, you never know what evil hands may get a hold of it. I can't help laughing at all the absurdities that befall me in the library each day...so never fear...not much will change.
Aurora Public Library posts a top ten list which allows you to access the entire first chapter or lengthy excerpts of some very popular (and sometimes "trashy") and hard to come by titles. I don't actually need to read an entire Sue Grafton novel, but it doesn't hurt to spend five minutes reading the first chapter so I am "in the know"... I was quite excited to read an excerpt from A Million Little Pieces as the holds list is topping 200 in one system I work for. As a librarian, how do you stay informed when all the award winners and best-sellers are out? Read them before they're catalogued, jump the que, buy them at Chapters, or simply be on the ball and predict a hit before it explodes???
