Hey Blog! Are you excited about your new library card?
Sure you can! Just visit here or here. Browse a bit, tell me what books you want, and I’ll pick them up for you.
Maybe our readers have suggestions? Blog and I are joining the Library-Loving Blog Challenge this week, so for everyone who leaves a comment below, we will donate $2.00 to our local libraries in Hamden and New Haven, Connecticut.
(Blog! We can talk about this privately…. later…)
How easy could it be? You comment, the libraries get a gift! If you don’t have a reading suggestion for Blog, “I love libraries” will do – until midnight, Monday, March 29.
Please note that my pledge is “per commenter”—so if a single person leaves 50 comments, that still only counts once! But you can do more by spreading the word … please link to this post, tweet about it, and send your friends here so they can comment and raise more money. If you’re moved to make a flat-fee donation to your library, or to start your own challenge, you are quite welcome, and please leave that information in the comments.
For a complete list of participating bloggers (and to visit other sites where you can help libraries just by leaving a comment!) visit the writerjenn blog at http://writerjenn.livejournal.com/

Hip Hip Hooray for Libraries

Oh Blog, you must use the reserve-your-books-online feature. It is my best friend. But I wonder what home address you gave them…
23 March 2010 at 12:55 pm
Jacqui, I reserve books online all the time (and hope that Blog will learn to do the same). In fact, I’m about to go out and pick up a book that my library is holding for me -

Thanks for joining in! I know I’m excited about MY library card!

This is great! Most libraries are in dire straights right now! I know the Ohio libraries can use all the help they can get!
23 March 2010 at 11:06 am
Happy challenge day. I know you’ll meet your goal.
23 March 2010 at 11:18 am

“When people who can read and write start fighting on behalf of people who can’t, you just end up with another kind of stupidity. If you want to help them, build a big library or something somewhere, and leave the doors open.”~Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times.

Here is my challenge:

23 March 2010 at 1:13 pm
Oh, I love this one! I wish my blog was so sassy. I’m doing the challenge, too, at Holly Cupala, Tell Me a Secret!
23 March 2010 at 1:41 pm
What a cute post! Thanks for your library loving support!
23 March 2010 at 2:46 pm
Hi Blog! I have my own library card too. I usually check out funny graphic novels like Babymouse! I think you will like them, they are hilarious.
Bye Bye Blog Blog,
- Gracie
23 March 2010 at 3:53 pm
Hi Gracie! I love those Babymouse books too – good suggestion! I’ll go find some for Blog.
23 March 2010 at 3:03 pm
Thanks for helping your library! We need more people like you
23 March 2010 at 5:01 pm

Go Libraries! Love the post — fantastic take on the whold thing!
23 March 2010 at 5:38 pm
Thanks for commenting on my challenge, Deborah, and good luck with your own! (although I think your biggest challenge might be your blog’s back talk)
23 March 2010 at 8:33 pm
Sigh. My Blog has attitude problems.
23 March 2010 at 7:55 pm
Thank you for loving libraries and good luck on your challenge.
23 March 2010 at 8:05 pm
Library Looooooooove! Good for you.
23 March 2010 at 8:44 pm
Hooray for libraries!
23 March 2010 at 10:24 pm
I love your attitude-y blog Deborah
And hooray for libraries!
23 March 2010 at 11:06 pm
One recommendation? Have you seen Mouse Guard, volume 1, the Fall of 1152? Also, go retro and read “Have Spacesuit, Will Travel” if you haven’t already. If you’ve never read 101 dalmations, you’re really missing out. Book is unbelievably amazing, and of course it’s better than the movie. Have you seen Shaun Tan’s new book? Or this one? http://www.veryawesomeworld.com/awesomebook/inside.html
Sorry. Couldn’t help myself. Too many good books.
24 March 2010 at 8:32 pm
Thanks for the recommendations!
24 March 2010 at 12:30 am
Thanks for spreading the library love!
24 March 2010 at 9:27 am
Thank you from the Hamden Library. We need all the help we can get.
24 March 2010 at 11:04 am
Very creative post! I love it!
24 March 2010 at 2:18 pm
As a fellow Connecticut resident, I am spreading the library love! I will be donating to my hometown library, the Beardsley & Memorial Library in Winsted, CT. Thanks for doing this. I’m thrilled to see how many people are participating! Libraries really need our support now during this tough economic climate.
24 March 2010 at 3:21 pm
Thank you, Deborah! What a wonderful idea and thanks for supporting your local libraries…from a libary loving librarian @ HPL!!
24 March 2010 at 8:35 pm
Yay HPL and the CT Center for the Book!
24 March 2010 at 6:25 pm

Hey Blog,
I just finished the audio book The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare. The Cherry Hill library has a copy (now that I returned it). I’d recommend that and thanks for helping to support libraries.
25 March 2010 at 3:25 pm
Hooray for libraries!
25 March 2010 at 5:22 pm
I couldn’t live without libraries.
I’m participating in the library blog challenge, though I’ve gotten a bit of a late start:
Michael Crichton’s Recommended Reading – Library Promo

Reading suggestion: I like The Secret History of the Pink Carnation for a fun Regency romance.
Hooray for libraries!
29 March 2010 at 4:24 pm
Libraries rock! I’m in the middle of BEFORE I FALL by Lauren Oliver – it’s a great read so far, one I’d definitely recommend.
