-- The Undercover Shelf --

This is the most amazing gif EVER. I've been wanting to try making gifs for awhile now, and I love the idea of making them with historical and archival images.

Also, I would do anything that cat told me to do because it's kind of scary looking.

Really, really good, well thought out list. Brava!

Check out the gorgeous debut issue of The Library Effect: a new website with articles about the positive effect of libraries on individuals and society. I'm excited to be a part of it and love what Shannon, the creator, has accomplished with the site. Personally, I've never seen another library-related website like it! Also, consider contributing your own story to future issues.

Wonderful interview with Maupin about the last volume in the Tales of The City seres. I can't wait to read it, although I'm sure anyone else who's read the series is feeling the same sort of simultaneous excitement and sadness at its ending.
