In Today's Episode of Library Marketing with Talia...

My cohort Ali is in Chicago today preparing for a title presentation at the Chicago Public Library. In her absence, I promise to amuse you with a few deep thoughts about books and kittens.

-- What about Monday Fun-Day, you ask? That will have to wait until Ali's return.
-- But where exactly is Ali? She is here talking about these books.
-- No Edgars or Agathas for us – why does the world hate us?
-- Mark Allen Smith’s propulsive debut, THE INQUISITOR, finally gets the love it deserves from Marilyn Stasio!
-- One more shameless plug for DON’T EVER GET OLD – which has FOUR starred pre-pub reviews and comparisons to Elmore Leonard. ROCK ‘n ROLL!

Deep Thoughts

Featured Feline Friday!

We want to give a little extra love to all of the mystical, sphinx-like kitties that were featured in this month's e-newsletter (missed out? View the e-newsletter here!).

Behold!

From left to right:

Sphinx Tiger (caretaker: Stephanie Chase, Multnomah County)
Sphinx Peach (caretaker: Alene Moroni, King County)
Lazy Sphinx Cubby (caretaker: Erin Shea, Darien)
Sphinx Sasha (caretaker: Jessica E. Moyer, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)
The Late Sphinx Annabelle (caretaker: Dawn Rutherford, Sno-Isle)

Rest in peace, lovely Annabelle. As for the rest of you mysterious furballs, I have no doubt that you will continue confounding us with your adorable kitten riddles!

I believe it's my duty to let you peculiar, non-twittering folks know that you're missing out on a lot of fun such as monthly galley chats with @EarlyWord (#ewgc), discussions with patrons about #FridayReads, and best of all, 140-character book recommendations from all the librarians you love!

Some of my favorite book tweets come from the one and only Nancy Pearl (@Nancy_Pearl). I've posted a few of her suggestions below so you can get a taste of just what you're missing:
