I usually have a few in mind and select the rest based on their titles and covers! 
My LOs get to choose a few as well.
I used Mrs. Cowgirl's recent post as a reference yesterday and checked out 4 books on her list!

Yup! I always try to reserve books ahead of time to make our trips shorter too.

@Freckles: I looked for a book that you posted about before! No Fits, Nilson!
-
@Freckles: I just did this and it was amazing! I was able to use a list and have them waiting at check out and then enjoy the time browsing with my kids!

No, I don't. I let my son wander and pick what he wants. We get the most random titles.

Now that LO is 6 months old, we know what kind of books she gets most excited about; animals! And we like reading rhyming books. So, now instead of blindly pulling picture books from the bin, I look for books about animals that rhyme and have you make the animal sounds. I just read her polar pola bear what do you hear, and she went bananas when I roared like a lion. The other night I checked out Barnyard Dance and she loved it!

@looch: one time DD chose a book where the boy said he hates his brother and wished he would die.
I know her tastes so I always get a mix of things...though it tends to skew heavily on Halloween and princess books.

I always look at the new arrival books up front and walk around looking for familiar authors or pretty covers. Sometimes I have a list ready with recommendations from bloggers, but most of them are not available at my library without reserving.
-
We usually look up our favorite authors, and see if there any books by them that we've missed!
-
I do both. I reserve specific books online and let the kids pick random books.
