Back to the Book Shelf: This Librarian’s “To-Read” List
If you are anything like me, you have plenty of books on the shelf to read but are always looking for more. I recently ran across a Pinterest item that describes the situation perfectly. It reads, “Abibliophobia: (n). The fear of running out of reading material.” Therefore, to indulge your abibliophobia and substantially lengthen your “To Read” list, I will share a list of 16 books that I just requested through Inter-library loan for professional development in the areas of children and teen’s library programming, web design, information literacy, and following one’s dreams. WARNING: This list will put you farther away from running out of reading material, but will also feed your condition of abibliophobia. Proceed at your own risk!
