UCBA Library Fun Facts: Bad Book Habits

Posted on by

Question: Do you have a bad book habit?

HeatherHeather 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.

 

MichelleMichelle 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 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.

 

LaurenLauren 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 Rachel Lewis, Technical Services Manager: Not at all!

 

 

 

TammyTammy Manger, Public Services Manager: Falling asleep only after two pages…I hate that!

 

 

ChrisChris Marshall, Public Services Assistant: Earmarking the pages.  Bad Habit!
