    Is Unshelved finished?

    1. Chris

      Yep!

    I like it! Thanks for putting the names of the characters below for our information. I’m looking forward to meeting all of them.

    1. Chris

      Thanks! There’s a bunch more to come!

      Ha! I didn’t see that. Now I have to go reread all of them. Luckily there are only a few so far.

      1. LauraRose

        I’m replying to myself after re-reading:
        There’s a Laura and she wears funny hats and has purply hair. I am So Excited!

    I love the new characters, and I really love the new, larger format. Much easier on my aging eyes.

    1. Chris

      Thanks 🙂

  4. Cheryl Keane

    Enjoying the new strip. Agree with the other comments re larger format and character names at the bottom.

    Why is the YA librarian a cross looking woman in a dowdy dress????

  6. Sue Lester

    I don’t think Esther works in Youth Services. At our library, someone from Collection Services does the weeding.

      At our library, Librarians are also ‘Selectors’. Each has a section of the collection to maintain: planning, buying, weeding, dealing with purchase requests. It’s supposed to make sure the people maintaining the collection also meet with patrons and stay in touch with the real world.

    Love the new strip! Good luck with it!

    I personally love Esther. I’m sure she was a tech servs librarian in the past, but when it got automated, they moved her to a new position that was created or became available: YA librarian! I’ve seen cataloguers become reference librarians in my academic library for this very reason (the cutting back of technical services) – not the best situation, but necessary.

    1. Eve

      Hey! I’m a tech services librarian and I am neither cross nor likely to wear a dowdy dress!

    I’m loving the new strip. Fun, similar enough with Unshelved that it feels like home already.

    1. Chris

      Thanks 🙂
