Learned how to deal with patron book requests yesterday and as part of that process, officially authorized my first ever book purchase which was Colony: The Harrowing Story of the Exiles of Molokai by John Tayman.
One of my dream library jobs would be to do full-time adult non-fiction (ANF in the vernacular) acquisitions so I found this moment very cool and worth noting.
As I was working through a few other requests, I realised the impact of a media hit – at least in terms of book requests. I saw patron requests for books that had been reviewed in MacLean's and authors who had recently been on The Daily Show or Oprah and so on.
