their new hire.
“Jim brings a welcome focus on business development and operations,”
says Barnes. “We will be free to concentrate on making Unshelved the
best comic strip it can be.”
“We’re thrilled to have Jim join the Unshelved family,” says Ambaum,
“He has a lot of great ideas and we can’t wait for him to put in to
action things we’ve been talking about for months or even years.”
Created by librarian Gene Ambaum and cartoonist Bill Barnes, the strip
went live in 2002 and quickly gained a cult following among library
workers. Unshelved’s audience continues to grow as more and more
people discover the exploits of a sarcastic public librarian named
Dewey. Today over 35,000 readers enjoy the strip every day at
unshelved.com, via free email delivery, and by RSS feed. Unshelved is
