"Word Herder?"

I've been called "Stealth Librarian" (when I could only come in at night due to day job limitations), "Book Diva" and hmmm I'm not sure what else in my role as Griffin School Librarian.  Since we have this "Room of Words" blog, it occurred to me that if anything, I'm as much a sheepdog patiently steering these many words to their optimal discovery place for those seeking information. The title "Word Herder" came to mind.  Whatcha think?

New books going out today:
