Unshelved

If you haven't heard of the web comic, Unshelved, I am not surprised. Most people haven't! However, now that you have...check it out! Seriously, if you enjoy libraries (especially if you work in a public library), you will love Unshelved. I am subscribed to the web comic version of Unshelved, and it never fails to make me laugh (usually at work).

You can check out the books through your local library, or see them online at www.unshelved.com (you can also subscribe to the web comic version and have it sent to your email).

To give you an idea of what it's about, here's an excerpt from volume four, Book Club:
"Dewey, young adult librarian at the Mallville Public Library, has an encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture and a snappy answer to every stupid question. His coworker Colleen struggles against newfangled technology and is raising her adopted daughter Doreen on a strict diet of reference books and classification systems. Idealistic, health-conscious children's librarian Tamara writes and mourns worn-out stuffed animals. She is secretly adored by Buddy the Book Beaver, summer reading mascot turned library page. their beleaguered manager Mel is at her most effective when ordering office supplies."
