This stuff is classified as historical fiction, btw. Which no librarian would do. Historical fiction as the Overdrive people classify is almost entirely romance in costume. Ugh.<br /><br />Love, C.Foxessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754083123669916994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5360814020056871156.post-48990967000011154052012-03-31T14:40:49.527-07:002012-03-31T14:40:49.527-07:00This makes me really sad.

I am always a little sad when I have to close it out and request a book through the main library website. At least I can have it sent to the cloest branch. I've been really lucky with requests for new books. Everything I've suggested from Nisi's Filter House to a book on breastfeeding have been added to the libraries collection within just a few weeks. They just started closing on Mondays in addition to Sundays, though, so access has gotten more limited.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06129261691148239743noreply@blogger.com
