Blogs and Blog Readers


Out of all the blog readers available, I chose to use Bloglovin because it had a catchy name amongst other things.   It seems really easy to use.  You search for popular blogs based on categories or you can also narrow it down to popular posts on blogs of different categories.  A user can link this blog reader to their Facebook account as well.  Bloglovin is quick to read because it gives just a quick look at the picture/post for each post.  This saves time of not having to scroll thru the entire posts for each blog. 

 

Little Brown Book Publishing


For obvious reasons, I love this blog.  They produce some great books and keeping up with the blog will keep readers up to date on what’s being published and when.

Banned Books

This is a great way for librarians and readers to read or discover information pertaining to banned books.  Some of these blogs have need ideas for discussions and activities to share. 

Book Displays


This blog is dedicated to people display designs of book displays.  I think this is a great asset to have when you need something inspirational or if you can display some great works as well.

Library Stuff


Staying current on anything library related is extremely important.  Why not use this blog as a way to do just that?  Anything to allow us librarians to work smarter, not harder is a great tool to have.

Library of Clean Reads


This blog reviews books, both fiction and non-fiction for anything that might be inappropriate.  Working in a public library leads to risk when some of these books are not necessarily at the right placement.  We need to be careful and aware of what’s in our library.
