There must be some kind of law on the interwebs that we do a “best of” or “year in review” list. The links listed below are not necessarily the most awful, but they sure either got us laughing or generated a bunch of comments. We are sure that you all have a favorite post too, and we hope you share your choices.
Remember, the choices for our website usually come from our particular experience in public libraries. Every library has a different mission and serves a different clientele. ALB endorses a solid collection management plan that remembers the mission of the library and service to the library user.
Thanks to all the regulars on our site that make this the most interesting collection development discussion around! Go Libraries!
So, in no particular order, here are Mary and Holly’s Best of the Worst of 2009.
Just For Men
Be honest, who doesn’t love the mullet?
Oh Canada
Canada is so AWESOME!
A Passion for Donkeys
Because everyone needs a passion for something…
House of Hair
Because Dee Snider is way cooler now than when this book came out.
Build Your Own Coffins for Pets and People
Woodworking for the macabre.
Hanging Out: the Upside Down Exercise Book
Just plain funny.
What’s Wrong with my Snake?
Just glove up!
Don’t Make Me Go Back Mommy:
A Child’s Book about Satanic Ritual Abuse
Without question, this got the most comments and sparked the most discussion.
Happy New Year, everyone!
Mary and Holly
