I mentioned to our library staff today that it would be wonderful if they would turn some of our books face out and put up staff and co-worker recommendations à la Barnes & Noble or Borders. I, for one, would like to know if my co-workers found certain books valuable. It might also give our library folks some insight (other than check-outs) into what’s good. Space is at a premium though, so they probably won’t do it. *sigh*

As much as I dislike chain bookstores, I really enjoy reading those little cards because they’re just in time recommendations from trusted sources: people who love books and work at bookstores. If we did this in-house, then those sources would be better…more trusted.

Hmmm…maybe I’ll go upstairs and sneak a card on Blink!
