If you haven’t seen Shelf Renewal yet, be sure to take a look. Karen Kleckner and Rebecca Vnuk, two Chicago area readers’ advisory librarians, started their blog recently with the purpose of highlighting older books that deserve to be pulled out of the stacks and displayed for current readers.

They typically take a current bestseller and highlight other books that tie in to the same theme. A couple of recent examples include Welcome to ZombieLand, Bootleg Love, and It Was All a Hoax.

What a great idea…especially in these days of huge budget cuts…bring out the good old stuff and recycle it to new readers!
