Why do people act so rude? Really, fried chicken? Couldn’t you have eaten your lunch in your car?

Great post! Thanks for sharing this with us I’ve always wished to become a children’s librarian, but I’m not sure I’d want to be a teen librarian.

I’m kind of intimidated by the teen section at my library – like if I go over there, lights will flash and alarms will go off, and a big booming voice will say, “Step away from the Stephenie Meyer, old lady!” Generally if I want to check out a book from the YA section, I just request it via the internet and then pick it up from the hold shelf to save myself from embarrassment

Btw, I just “discovered” your blog by way of GoodReads and I LOVE it! Great design and concept!

My libraiary fails in so many ways.
First of all I live in a 99% french Province (state), which makes it hard to find good books. French is actually my frist language but I can never find interesting french novel and it takes so long for translation it’s ridiculous.
Not only that, but the tiny english section they have is old dusty stuff.
So I suck it up and buy tons of books online, because most bookstores here don’t have decent english book section either.

The main library near me, has been closed for refurbishment for almost two years now. Here is hoping that when the finally reopen it, there will be a kick-ass YA section.

I really enjoyed your post!! Greasy chicken bones and all

I wish my local library had an organized teen section. It is in desperate need of a reorganization.

I love this – so funny. Our library in Beckenham is very small – a satelite library, so annoyingly it does not have a large selection of books for teens – a lot of the library is dedicated to curriculum stuff for schools. What does amuse though is the lovely selection of graphic novels.

I have borrowed a lot of teen / kids’ lit books from the library in the past and they got me onto a variety of other authors. But I understand money is tight so I think this won’t be a section the library will be growing at all.
