The 12 Blogs of Christmas: blogs 1 through 6
A huge part of being a successful teen librarian is staying current on teen reads, pop culture, marketing tactics, teen issues and more. Honestly, we have to be informed on a wide variety of knowledge. Part of my daily routine is to visit a series of blogs – I just pop in and take a quick glance to see what’s hot right now. For the Christmas season I thought I would do a play on the 12 days of Christmas and share the 12 Blogs of Christmas and highlight 12 blogs that I check in with regularly to help keep me on my toes. These 12 blogs (plus this one right here, shameful plug insert) are essential tools in your Teen Librarian’s Toolbox (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).
