耻辱阅读

By Mary Kelly

When I first started out as a student, I thought my taste should gravitate to the “serious” and “important” works of literature. I kind of wanted to be that person that read Kafka or Joyce on the train or went to a poetry reading. I even wanted to wear a beret. I was hoping that I would be considered a “deep thinker” and an “intellectual” reader. I guess I wanted to be the early 1980s version of Rory Gilmore. No one needed to know that although I read widely on occasion (and sometimes with a gun to my head), I secretly loved books by the likes of Erica Jong, Jacqueline Susanne, and Sydney Sheldon. If it had a wild plot, sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll, I was a fan. I could chew these books up like candy. It was my secret shame reading list.

老龄化在21世纪

你知道吗?Over 10,000 baby boomers are turning 65 every day, and the fastest growing demographic in the U.S. is women over the age of 85. A radical shift—driven by the numerous (and vocal) “baby boom” generation—pushes the portion of U.S. citizens 65 and older to be 21% by 2050. As older citizens’ self-perceptions change, …阅读更多

不是你母亲的大印刷品

By Mary Kelly

回到Olden时代,大型印刷难以充满当前的最佳卖家。当我在成长时,大型印刷材料被降级到图书馆的一个扬声器,偶尔寻找一些东西。这是一个小集合,诚实,有点糟糕的看。没有真正的封面艺术,选择似乎只是浪漫。这就是我记得作为年轻人。现在我是“老人”之一,我们不会再这样做了。我只想想象我这个年龄的许多人也记得这一点。

Cold Enough For You?

由玛丽凯莉和霍莉·希伯纳

冬天是我最喜欢的诗人咨询之一。是的,你没看错。恶劣天气,特别是雪和冰,对读者咨询有益。天气不好时,我可以出售任何书籍或视频。天气是我的冰块的前景。这至少是谈话开始的对话,可以引导图书管理员对顾客的信息需要。对于我们在中西部北部的人中,我们与我们的顾客分享了长期灰色的冬季的历史悠久的经历以及所有可以带来的问题。即使你爱冬天,到2月的事情看起来很悲伤。冬天,我住的地方,有时可以伸展到5月。这不是寒冷的温度; it is the seemingly endless days of dark and grey. By late January, most of my customers coming into the library look like they are on a casting call for行尸走肉那and misery loves company.

作主Secret Sisters by Jayne Ann Krentz is the story of two childhood friends, Madeline and Daphne, who experienced a terrifying attack and have done their best to move on with their lives. Madeline runs a chain of luxury hotels and Daphne is a designer. But the secret that they share reunites them as adults and they journey back to a small island off the coast of Seattle, the site of their childhood trauma. Using Nancy Pearl’s Readers Advisory methodology, let me tell you about the doorways that I found most appealing. I was drawn to the character of Madeline, a successful career woman who struggles with intimacy and lost track of her childhood friend.
