If you don't work in a library, spend a lot of time in a library, or know someone who does either, you may not be aware that libraries are lovely, innovative, exciting, and amazing. They are also basically Crazytown, USA. (Or whatever country you happen to be in.) It doesn't matter if your library belongs … Continue reading The train thief and other library adventures

I probably can't really be an LCARS librarian since I'm stuck in the pre-warp drive for humans early part of the 21st century. Bummer. But if I could be an LCARS librarian I would.

I hope to use this blog as a way to write book reviews for myself and others, and to write about librarianship.

The program was 'Teen Iron Chef' which I had heard about but was nervous about actually presenting. It sounded like a lot of work: … Continue reading Teen Iron Chef
Massachusetts Library Association conference 2013
Today I went to the Massachusetts Library Conference in Cambridge (I took a bus! By myself! And got off at the correct stop! Grownup city success! And yes, I do feel like this when I go to Boston.). It was good: I got to see some sweet panels, catch up with librarian friends from around … Continue reading Massachusetts Library Association conference 2013
