Reader’s Advisory Librarian at Seattle Public Library Interview starts at 12:20 and ends at 37:05 “The Seattle Library has seen an exponential growth in our e-book usage, which like elsewhere is not cutting into our print usage. It’s additive, which is really interesting to say. Same with audiobooks. These new formats just seem to bring new people into reading and literature, so that’s all to the good.” (Photo by John Lok, The Seattle Times) News “New findings suggest it might be better to read toddlers an e-book than a print book” by Emma Young at The British Psychological Society Research Digest - June 15, 2017 “Amazon’s New Customer” by Ben Thompson at Stratechery - June 19, 2017 “In Whole Foods, Bezos Gets a Sustainably Sourced Guinea Pig” by Farhad Manjoo at The New York Times - June 17, 2017 “Open Road Integrated Media Newsletters Reach One Million Subscribers” - press release on June 22, 2017 Tech Tips “Introducing Smart Home Camera Control with Alexa” by Jeff Blankenburg at Alexa Blogs - June 22, 2017 Interview with David Wright Seattle Public Library Nancy Pearl on TKC 268 Books by Jerome Charyn and James Sallis The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood Books by Joanna Russ Selected Shorts podcast Books by Richard Matheson Amazon support for Mary’s Place - Seattle Times May 14, 2017 Internet Archive The Mysteries of Paris by Eugéne Sue The Collected Works of Jack London A Natural History of Hell: Stories by Jeffrey Ford (Includes “The Blameless”) Articles by and about David Wright: “Librarians of the 21st Century: Worst Story Time Ever?
