Here is list of some of the awesome things I’ve seen online about libraries in the last week. There is always so much that I want to go back and revisit but I can never find it again. So, I’m going to generate this weekly list of library awesomeness so that I have a good record. But also, so that you can find out some of the things you might have missed. If I missed something super awesome, please let me know so that I can add it! Thanks team.
