A feed reader is an app that allows you to organize your favorite
blogs, podcasts, and news into collections and allows you to receive updates of
new stories being published.
The Feed Reader I decided to go for was “Feedly”. It is simple,
easy to use and free. It allows me to build my own newsfeed about my
favorite topics and create my own collections. I was able to download
feedly on my Windows computer and the App to my android phone. I had the
opportunity to use it on both my computer and my phone. I would recommend the
Feedly App since I was able to find what I needed without a problem just by
using the searching tool. In contrary to the one I downloaded in my
computer, I tried searching a blog and it will ask me to upgrade my account in
which I had to pay a fee monthly. The expense wasn’t that much but I
didn’t have to use the upgraded version in my phone.
The following information provides brief descriptions of blogs I decided
to follow with “Feedly” to keep up to date with library news and events that
could help me promote and serve as an advocate of reading at my own library.
Most of the blogs have to do with book reviews and library displays.
It is important to know the interests of our readers and their input of
books being published.
Annoyed Librarian
Annoyed Librarian writes and provides an opinion about articles or
events happening at the library. It is interesting to follow and read
about topics that might seem controversial.
The Daring Librarian
The Daring Librarian writes about events going on at her own library.
The blog provides a list of book reviews and provides pictures and blogs
of events happening during and after school. I enjoy following her blogs
because it provides me with ideas I can implement as a future librarian at my
own library.
Kirkus Review Blog
Kirkus Review Blog Network provides book review blogs for children,
young adults and adults. I am interested in following this blog because
it gives me feedback of what readers are interested in reading.
The Book Smugglers
The Book Smugglers is a book review blog. It provides up to date
book reviews that I can read and use to get input of what readers are reading.
Library Displays
Library Displays is a blog about ideas use for library displays. I
am following this blog because it provides me with ideas that I can implement
as a future librarian to engage and promote reading to students, parents,
teachers and administrators at the school library.

I also used Feedly and I like the simplicity of it. I use the app on my phone quite a bit. I think the Book Smugglers blog looks interesting.
