TikTok: Library Books

How many books is too many books to check out from the library?

Asking for a friend:

Book #13 in the Library Lovers series

Since it's the 13th book, it must happen near Halloween, right? And it must be spooky?

Right on both accounts

This one featured a secret library door - which wasn't so charming...

I love this library series! I'm always eager to read the newest edition.

Jenn McKinlay is one of my must read authors.

Happy National Library Week

@yabooknerdlibrarian Happy #NationalLibraryWeek - I'm sharing some fave books about libraries!  @YA Book Nerd 📚📚📚

Top Ten Tuesdays: Book Buying

This week's topic is about book buying. I'm going to change it up a little and talk about reasons I buy books for the library.

I buy books for children, tween, and teen. Basically for ages birth thru ages 18. 

1. Auto-buy Authors (There are several authors I will always purchase for the library. 

One example: Ally Carter)

2. To fill a hole in the collection. 

Example: I've been working on diversifying the picture book collection.

3. Pop Culture: Books to support the latest blockbuster movie or video game

4. If it looks good: Do judge a book by it's cover

5. If someone asks for more books on X (Example - Sesame Street - we didn't have many books on Sesame Street because they were not being published, but now I'm buying them all up because they go out)

6. Educational: To support the schools. While it's not the public library to support the schools, it's great if we can collaborate together.

7. If it looks fun: the public library is ALL about fun books and reading for fun.

8. Reviews: If the book gets a great review from a library journal

9. If a trusted author recommends it (Through blurbs or social media)

10. If a social media friend (not author but book person / librarian) recommends it.

Top Ten Tuesday: Recent Library Books

This week's topic is recent additions to your bookshelves. Since I get most of my books from the library, here are a few sitting on my bookshelf just waiting for me to read them. (And I won't tell you the number of books I have checked out on my card right now because it would blow your mind.)

Top Ten Tuesday: Books Checked Out from the Library

This week I'm going rogue with my own topic. I have tons of books checked out from the library. I'm the best and the worst library patron. Most of the books I have checked out, I plan on using for story times later this year. But here are 10 that I can't wait to read!)

Isn't that a great looking set of books. The only trouble I have it which one to choose first!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books read on whim (and loved)

This week's topic is Ten Books I Picked Up On A Whim - technically books I picked up without really hearing about or knowing much about. There are books I picked to read from my new library collection and books I picked because they looked fun.
