You probably have visited Awful Library Books (and if you haven’t…do!), but now the word is spreading.
Wired’s Geek Dad has an article on the website created by two Michigan librarians, Mary Anderson Kelly and Holly Allen Hibner. Among the gems they find while weeding is the 70’s title Nomadic Furniture by James Hennessey and Victor Papanek, that features a child car safety seat made of cardboard.
And as they promised themselves if the site was still fun after one year, they would be making ch-ch-changes. What started as a lark has taken on a life of its own. Says Mary: I kept thinking surely we will run out of books. Then we open the submission emails and something shows up that absolutely blows us away. Stay tuned and send in those submissions.
Love that site
I am always astonished at the books still lurking on the hidden shelves. Although I really need eye bleach after this week’s additional pages from Burt Reynolds’ book. Ick.
