The NextGen Librarian’s Survival Guide by Rachel Singer GordonI checked this out to see what she had to say about surviving library school and any advice on public librarianship.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer A great vampire love story between a normal human girl and a vampire that she meets at school. Can’t wait to read the next book. There’s no wonder this book and the next one, New Moon, are so popular. This is such a fun book. Books like this really make me [...]
