Back in June 2010, John Warner of the Morning News took on the moniker "Biblioracle" and invited people to write to him with the titles of the last five books they had read so he could "predict" their next read. He was so overwhelmed with responses that he had to shut it down. The story got some press on library blogs, with many librarians pointing out that we've been offering this kind of service for years. True enough, but I also thought he was onto something. Like libraries across the country, Multnomah County Library (MCL) has looked for satisfying ways to engage with patrons in a medium that doesn't allow for face-to-face interaction. I wondered if we could challenge ourselves the way Warner did by having a sort of "Stump the Chumps" campaign of our own.
