Hey!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to pop in and say that I think what you're doing is fantastic! I hope you continue to post on Sharing the Shelves. I've been pushing your post on Twitter and lots and lots of readers are interested. Great stuff!
Also, I really like the monthly reports you compose and share (then post to your blog). What a supreme advocacy tool!
