As mentioned at the end of last night's chat, Leigh and I will be introducing a new feature starting with a trial run in January. We're hosting a book club! And you're all welcome to join us!
WHAT?
A book club! On Twitter! Where we read and discuss books to help us with our professional development in library land!
WHERE?
On Twitter, using the same hashtag we use for our chats! #LISprochat.
WHEN?
We'll announce the upcoming book in the last chat of the previous month and then have the discussion on the last Monday of the month regardless of whether it's a normal #LISprochat day or not.
WHY?
For a few reasons, Leigh and I thought it would be fun to have a book club. I mentioned that I was giving myself a new reading goal to try and read 1 professional book a month, and this is a good way for me to motivate myself to meet that goal through accountability!
January 2018 Book Selection
This will be our inaugural book and discussion, the chat will take place on Monday, January 29, 2018, at 8:30 pm.
