Let's Discuss: Public Libraries Digital Collections

The 2024 Discussion Challenge hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight.

On and off I keep seeing things mainly, on Tik Tok about libraries and their digital collections. While I can scroll, heart, and share with the best of them, I cringe when I think about recording myself so this blog is all I've got and we're about to dive in to public libraries e books and e audiobooks. 

If I were talking to a library user and said something about library e-reading, the first platform to jump to a lot of brains is probably going to be Libby. I love that for you, Libby is cool. The second thought a lot of people have is, I like Hoopla better you don't have to wait for the books. 

Let's Discuss: Are you ever afraid to talk about books?

 

I am very much a mood reader. Sometimes I'm in the mood for something light, sometimes monster romance, sometimes angst, and sometimes I'm looking for something that feels real. Every once in a while we're all going to find one that hits hard. Books that affect us do it in different ways. Sometimes it's a book boyfriend we love or worldbuilding we love or something else. Other times it hits us because of something personal just to us. 

Let's Discuss: Book review anxiety

The 2024 Discussion Challenge hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight.

First, let me say that I'm not one of those people who think a person can't read over 100 books in a year or people don't remember the books if they read over 100 books a year. I'm a librarian. I've seen it all, and once upon a time, I was that person.

Let's Discuss: Middle Grade Audio Books

 

I started listening to audio books when I had an hour commute one way and I've love them ever since. I'm also one of those lucky people who can multitask really well. Depending on the project I'm working on I can listen to audiobooks while working and finish a shorter book in one day. 

2024 Discussion Challenge: Who am I?

So pumped for my first post for the 2024 Discussion Challenge hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight.

 

I thought my first post should be about me, don't worry, books play a huge part!

My name is Kym and I've been working in libraries for 15 years (academic, public, and state) and it's wild to think about. For the last 11 I've worked in Children and YA services so I read and review a lot of middle grade and YA books.
