UCBA Library Fun Facts: Bad Book Habits
Question: Do you have a bad book habit?
Heather Maloney, Library Director: Getting too many and letting them pile up on my bedside table. I try to answer all of life’s quandaries with a different book.
Michelle McKinney, Reference/Web Services Librarian: Accidentally re-reading books. I’ll borrow a book from the library and realize a few chapters in that I’ve read it before.
Kellie Tilton, Instructional Technologies Librarian: Using the dust jacket flaps as a bookmark. Not as bad as earmarking the page, but still not as good as an actual bookmark.
Lauren Wahman, Instruction Librarian: Finding too many good ones and running out of time to read them all. And, occasionally, picking up one that I’ve already read!
Rachel Lewis, Technical Services Manager: Not at all!
Tammy Manger, Public Services Manager: Falling asleep only after two pages…I hate that!
Chris Marshall, Public Services Assistant: Earmarking the pages. Bad Habit!
