Month: August 2007

Back at ALA, I got a chance to meet one of the guys involved with Unshelved, a webcomic about librarians. They had some fun t-shirts at their booth, and he ended up giving me a “Guess what I’m reading?” tee, which has become my new favorite, and tends to start conversations. But it’s a men’s … Read more
