ShelfConsumed has moved to shelfconsumed.org

Apparently my domain name has been swiped, and I am not able to find a way to redirect traffic from the old address to the new one.  Ack.  Aargh.

ShelfConsumed may now be found at http://www.shelfconsumed.org

I would appreciate it if you'd help spread the word!  Many thanks.

TASL thanks

Many thanks to Texas Association of School Librarians (TASL) for naming ShelfConsumed as the best professional blog during the Texas Library Association (TLA) conference last week!  TASL is awesome!

The Wise Man Said it Best...

John Green, amazing YA author and YouTube sensation, recently tweeted the following,

"50 million Americans haven't read a book in the past 12 months. As a business, THAT'S our #1 problem--not format or distribution models."

Of course we have to think about format and distribution models.  It's our job to provide for our patrons in the most friendly, useable, cost-efficient, and sustainable ways possible.  It's our job to meet their information and reading needs. 

But if our patrons don't have reading needs, John Green is right.  Helping to create readers should be our priority.
