Welcome to the Awful Library Books archive! Your librarians for this site are Mary and Holly. We started this blog back in 2009 to highlight issues in collection development. We decided to retire the website in summer of 2023. We want to thank everyone for your support of our site. This site is an edited archive of the original site. We have closed comments and this will just be a static archive.
