2 stars Note: this is the first I have read of anything Big Nate-related. An okay collection of comics originally published 2009 to 2010. The collection was fine, mostly I just don’t think it was a good fit for me personally. I had a difficult time assessing who this book was targeted toward. The characters…

This book is so much more. Despite its length, it contains a lifetime of experiences. Each page resonates with the desire to work…

4 stars An enlightening look on working with patrons in a library. I’m in my last semester of an MLIS program and was recommended this book for my Public Library class. While some of the information is a bit dated, it was still very helpful in preparing for working with patrons. For those who have…
