Blogging and Tumblr

I chose to use Bloglovin' as my blog reader.  I like the large print and pictures in the feed. Every blog that I am following shows up on the feed. The feed is informative and not too busy. I like the simplicity of it. It was easy to navigate and I quickly found several library bloggers to follow.  Since I oversee all level libraries, I followed bloggers from elementary to high school. I also followed professional publications like School Library Journal.  It's important for me to follow these in order to keep up with the latest books.  The reviews are very beneficial.  I also found bloggers on using technology and setting up the library.  I plan on spending much time reading these in order to prepare for the fall.

I have included some of my favorites.

American Association of School Librarians.  A fountain of information for anyone working in a library.  There are book reviews, suggestions for blogs to follow, articles on technology, award winners.  This blog is a plethora of information for librarians.  I spend a lot of time on this blog. I saved several articles.
