This Book Is OVERDUE!

What’s more exciting than Titus Andronicus playing the Pitchfork Music Festival or the Bears acquiring Julius Peppers, or (I guess) the Chiefs trying to get Darren Sproles?

Not much: this is a cap-free year! But if you’re a librarian, any good book that makes us look awesome is worth promoting.

Enter This Book is Overdue! How Librarians and Cybrarians can Save Us All. First admission, I hate the term “cybrarian”. That being said, this book argues that even though you may think Google and the Internet are killing the notion of a useful librarian, editor Marilyn Johnson shows all of the cool stuff librarians are still doing. From digital archiving to, what the Amazon review calls “curators of a community legacy.”

So if you dig it, you could check out this book.  For a shortcut to what we’re doing, check out some of the library links here.
