#LitsyLovesLibraries #MrBooksLists

Scochrane26 I‘ve read most of Bill Bryson‘s books, & most are really funny. I‘ve read all of Austen‘s books. I‘ve read 25 Janet Evanovich‘s Stephanie Plum books but am not going to continue because they‘ve become formulaic. (edited) 5y

rwmg 5 from this list 5y

Jesstifies The Martian, Me Earl and the Dying Girl and Me Talk Pretty One Day! (Oddly all in a row on your list 😝) The latter is a book I read in high school and it‘s what made me realize I could love books, so it holds a special place in my heart 💜 5y

Eggs Wonderful👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 5y

TK-421 @Clwojick Yes you do! It‘s one of her favourite places to nap 😊 5y

TK-421 @tessavi @Eggs Thanks! 5y

TK-421 @flying_monkeys They‘re cheap assemble-at-home shelves made of particle board & laminate, I think. And they aren‘t reinforced, but I have mostly paperbacks & I try to put my heavier books on the bottom shelves or the “fixed” shelves in the middle to try to distribute the weight evenly. So far everything is holding up fine, but they‘ll probably end up bowing at some point. One day I hope to have some awesome built-in shelves! 5y

flying_monkeys @TK-421 yeah the bowing is creeping up on mine, and i didn‘t see any in yours so i thought maybe you had a method 🤓 i keep telling myself to make my own out of a good sturdy wood, but then the books multiply and they need homes so i grab another cheapie. 🙃 5y

Tex2Flo I have one bookcase made this way that I‘ve kept for over 30 years. I work out the bowing by turning that shelf over every year or so...to get the bowing going in the other direction. No perfect, but made that case still useful for another year. 5y

TK-421 @Tex2Flo I‘ll have to give that a try if I notice any of my shelves bowing 5y

My new #BeachReads Display! 😁 This was so popular last year that I wound up keeping it as a display for 3 months instead of the intended 1.

Does your library do a beach reads display?!

#LitsyLovesLibraries #MrBooksDisplays

twohectobooks How are you defining beach read? 5y

MrBook @twohectobooks That‘s a great question! I‘m planning on making it my Bookish question of the day 😆, because everyone seems to have different criteria for what constitutes something we‘ve all heard before 🙈. In this case, I‘m making beach reads similar to airport books, something you‘ll find in a terminal. So, usually lighter material, more fun books. Also, books that tend to be associated with summer. 5y

twohectobooks That‘s why I asked! I love to read horror and historical fiction on the beach :) 5y

Turned in one of my reports today for the Board.

So, I took control of my library‘s 2 displays starting in January 2018. I expanded that to 7-9 per month.

My goal was 1,000 books. Hit 1,500+! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

How the heck am I going to top that for 2019?! 🙈

#LitsyLovesLibraries #MrBooksDisplays

Librariana Curious minds... and I apologize in advance if the question is not the brightest... but! How do you calculate/tally these stats? How do y'all know at check out time if the item came from one of those displays? We use Workflows and can modify an item's location to show as Display. Do you use something similar? 6y

TheWordJar That‘s awesome! 🙌 I always check out the displays at my library. Aaaaand usually grab one or two! 6y

Branwen Congrats! That is so awesome! 🤗👍📚 6y

See All 9 Comments

BookBabe Awesome, my love! I‘m so very proud of you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 6y

BookBabe Suggestion for how to top that in 2019: How about trying to display books that have appealing covers? (I know that‘s highly subjective.) A huge percentage of books I read, buy, and borrow are because I was drawn to the cover. Just two cents from your resident aesthete. 😉 6y

MrBook @BookBabe Thank you 😍😍😍. 6y

MrBook @Librariana An excellent question! We use Evergreen, and we too can change the status to “On Display” and I can create personal buckets for each display I set up. I check those bucket lists everyday and compare to what‘s still there (usually takes 30-60 minutes). When someone checks out an item, the status changes to “Checked Out” and automatically reverts back to the default category, which is “Available”. It‘s tedious but helps! (edited) 6y

rwmg @MrBook but but but if a book's been checked out how can it be available? 6y

MrBook @rwmg Good question! When it gets returned it says “Available”, which means it was checked out. 👍🏻 6y

Here's one of 3 carts jam-packed with 2nd Level books (single books, which you can choose from by reading 1,200 pages) for the #SummerReadingProgram. We have almost 350 books available for this level. 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Any titles you'd pick?

My day was jam-packed with shoring up my displays (the Beach Reads one alone needed 16!!! books!) and organizing our prizes for the #SummerReadingProgram, which I've been diligently collecting for months 😁. Here are some of the 60+ book bundles we're giving away as 4th Level prizes (reading 3,000 pages). We've got some goooood stuff!

The library's segment starts at ~38:30, and silly me is ~42:00 and the end. ☺️☺️☺️

You get to see my library, @sochya , and ME! 🤗🤗🤗

My good buddies Korey and William dish up some coffee and cookies. 😋
