Ways Blogging Helps with My Librarian Job
1. I love being able to share books with teens and adult at the library and passing on the love.
2. While obviously I'm not able to read every book - I love it when I hear something good about a book from bloggers I know. I use it to say, "I haven't read this, but I heard it was really good..."
3. I'm able to keep track of what I read much easier with a blog.
4. Making suggestions for the Middle School Summer Reading List.
5. Seeing ARCs that other bloggers get and are excited about helps immensely with Collection Development
Ways I Love Being a Reader Blogger
1. Talking with authors about loving their books
2. Meeting authors at book signings or conferences (yes, fangirling happens most of the time)
3. Talking to publishers about the great books they're promoting.
4. Talking about books with other bloggers and seeing what they think about the same book
5. Talking about books on social media sites: what we love, what we don't love, what covers are awesome or strange....
All of these reasons run close together, but clearly I love reading and talking about the books I read or want to read.
