Ranganathan's Five Laws:
Books are for use.
Books are for all; or Every reader his book.
Every book its reader.
Save the time of the reader. A library is a growing organism.

Out and About. . .

I'm playing around at Shelfari, LibraryThing, and Good Reads. I've set up links to my pages on these sites. And, yes, I have a hard time keeping up-to-date on these sites...

LibraryThing

GoodReads

Shelfari

I've set up "shelves" from these sites on Overbooked - here

Overbooked is spacing out: Myspace: Overbooked and Crime Space - and, facing out: Facebook profile.

Please join the conversation(s) at Overbookers - a rather quiet social space for the chronically overbooked.

Join the Overbooked List - A quiet list for readers to share recent reads, keep up to date with details about new books, discuss favorite authors/titles, etc.

 

Overbooked specializes in providing timely information about fiction (all genres) and readable nonfiction. Overbooked has been online since 1994. Overbooked is a work in progress . . .

 

Overbooked is moving - www.overbooked.org will not longer be an active site after Feb 28, 2009. The site will move to www.overbooked.com. VCU is discontinuing hosting nonprofit web sites. Thanks to VCU for hosting the site for so many years.

Ann Chambers Theis

According to Mike:
"Laughs like Betty Rubble. Related to the Keebler cookie elves. Spends too much time fiddling with the Overbooked web site. She really believes animals lower your stress level . . ."

According to Ann:
Married Mike despite the fact that he was my first date in high school (and despite the fact that he persists with this Betty Rubble laugh stuff). I like to spend as much time as possible in or under water. Ravenous reader and book person/library person from birth. I've have been a bookie all my life. I'd hate to have to chose my favorite books, but if I were forced to pick just one it would be Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I am an omnivorous reader and disgustingly adaptable in regards to my reading tastes. I like all kinds of books and am resigned to a life where there are "so many books and so little time."

Professional stuff:
I'm the Collection Management Administrator for the Chesterfield County Public Library and am personally responsible for selecting fiction and music for the library system. The job also involves overseeing the materials budget ($1,000,000 +) and other aspects of the library collection including cataloging and collection analysis. I work with a great team of folks at CCPL. I've been a librarian for over fifteen years and worked in bookstores for eleven years. Pretty much a bookaholic since birth . . .

I am a member of the American Library Association - PLA, RUSA and YALSA divisions, and a member of the CODES Reader's Advisory Committee. I recently served on and chaired YALSA's Alex Awards committee. I was born in Williamsburg, VA, went to college in New Mexico and library school in South Carolina. I've also lived in: Georgia, Florida, Kentucky and Ohio.
