Also, it seems like a good way to keep a reading history, which a lot of people need, especially if they are avid readers, so that they can keep track of what's been read, and what hasn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24089069.post-34261746839016084382008-03-04T06:16:00.000-05:002008-03-04T06:16:00.000-05:00Gee, I don't know Sally Lockhart.

Now I like a lot of the female sleuths: Kinsey Milhone, Benny Rosato, etc., and P.D. James' Adam Dalgleish. I'm also enjoying anything by Laurie R.

It is a wonderful resource, and I will be happy to link to it from our Local History page. However, I am guessing that over time it will scroll down and then off of your blog. So perhaps it would be better if, with your permission, I copy it onto our website and then link to it there(?). That way I think it will stick around longer.<BR/><BR/> I also will need your full name, so I can attribute to you as author.<BR/><BR/> Please let me know what you think.

If a second person expresses interest within a period of 30/60 days, it progresses to a different shelf and so forth until the "critical mass" you suggested is established. <BR/><BR/>I don't know the traffic you get on this blog, nor what percentage of your patrons would miss out, if it were to be restricted to the internet. <BR/><BR/>Have you received any feedback (positive and/or negative) from others, which might suggest whether this is a worthwhile pursuit?<BR/><BR/>elmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24089069.post-25435664639098434222007-07-02T11:30:00.000-04:002007-07-02T11:30:00.000-04:00Great idea!

Sometimes there were weird little unusual things there that were really fun reading. It was kind of a fun idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24089069.post-73133133950123728902007-06-28T11:23:00.000-04:002007-06-28T11:23:00.000-04:00Again, I like the concept. There is one glitch: We do not keep a record of who has read what book. Therefore, it would be hard to call together a group of folk who happened to read the same book. <BR/><BR/>Periodically we do put up a collection of "Staff Picks" to promote some of our favorite books. I don't think we've done one in awhile -- I will suggest it to the appropriate person.<BR/><BR/>Maybe this blog could be a vehicle for bringing people who wish to discuss a certain book together. For example, a person who wants to discuss a particular book could email me and I would post a topic asking for others who would like to discuss that book. If we get critical mass (like 3 or more people?), we could schedule a face to face discussion. What do you think?<BR/><BR/>kcnaplbloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07899983464241199802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24089069.post-8814171649302423892007-06-27T18:58:00.000-04:002007-06-27T18:58:00.000-04:00Sorry, "anonymous" is out of town, so I've been otherwise entertained. Anyhow, my suggestion was conceptual, without much thought to how it might be executed. <BR/> <BR/>Not knowing the flow and frequency with which books are borrowed, I'm at a disadvantage. To test the process, a bookshelf with "staff favorites" - using various genres - could be created. When the book is returned, a simple: "would you like to meet up with others who have read this book, given the opportunity?" might provide feedback as to the viability of such an endeavor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
