Niki

I work in youth services in a small-city, public library. I enjoy reading young adult literature, and I love to discuss books.

I've been married since August 2008 and live in Grand Haven, MI with my husband, Peter. more »

    Thanks, Niki. I did end up finding the librarian the other day, and she was wonderful. She accepted my books and encouraged me to bring more. So I guess it's all in who you talk to at the library. Also, maybe my books weren't valued as much...but still some of them were famous authors and fairly recent NYT bestsellers all of which the library didn't have, so I don't know what happened. But thanks for the input.

    Hi Niki, got a library question for you. We have a new library (our first one) in town. Every time I donate books, the librarians give them all to the bookstore to be sold rather than put them on the shelves...even when they are fairly new books and our library doesn't have them yet. Do you know what the criteria are for accepting books into the library?

    I don't like keeping books after I've read them, but I want to be able to read them again in the future. I figure a library is the perfect place to donate them.

    It's a high school class, each students reads a different book every two weeks, they are grouped by common offenses then students discuss, find commonalities between them, and produce projects. This is a trial run, I think the next posting they do here will be in forums and they will comment with each other. If that goes well, then maybe, if students are comfortable with it, I'll invite outside discussion as well. Welcome to the party.

    Just wanted to let you know that the Banned Book group that you joined is a class of students, I am their teacher. We are posting information about the banned books we read for class. I ask only that you are respectful to the students in the class--enjoy!

    No, I've been a bit busy. I'm hoping to have some down time in the colder months though. I'll add that to the list.
