Library Lion

One of the most enjoyable tasks that my work as a librarian entails is ordering books for our library.  I consult several venerable journals and read a lot of children’s books.  What a pleasure it has been to add PlanetEsme, Esme Raji Codell’s excellent blog, to my list of sources for book recommendations!  But more than just book reviews the blog offers Esme’s occasional personal commentary.  On a recent post, following the reviews of several Thanksgiving titles, she included a formidable list of the people and things for which she is thankful.  It is this kind of insight that blogs provide, along with the ability to open a dialog, that distinguishes them from the old Web 1.0 way of using the Internet.
