If you haven't heard, it's National Library Week, so let's all collectively cheer for libraries from our desks/couches. (I'm on the couch! Yes!) Ok? Thanks! I thought in honor of this week, I'd thought I'll list my reasons why I love libraries, other than the fact that they give me a job. And student loan … Continue reading Why I love the library, by Anna
Author: lcarslibrarian
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. Or I would work in Stellar Cartography. Or is there a library on Battlestar Galactica? For now, I'll just stick to reading books, writing, and earth-bound YA librarianship.
I hope to use this blog as a way to write book reviews for myself and others, and to write about librarianship.
YAs in the news, or Joel Stein is a meanie
Young adult literature - and young adult books, which is what I call the Gossip Girl novels - have been in the news a lot lately. There's the Hunger Games, Twilight, 50 Shades of Grey (I'll explain how this bondage/erotica trilogy is related to YA lit in a minute), and more movie adaptations are being … Continue reading YAs in the news, or Joel Stein is a meanie
Blog Fail (and book reviews)
Oh gosh. It's been almost three weeks since I've posted. Sorry, folks. I can't even really claim Battlestar Galactica as my excuse this time because I finished a few weeks or so ago. Amazing. If you haven't watched it you need to so we can remain friends (cough cough, brother-in-law, cough cough)! I've also been … Continue reading Blog Fail (and book reviews)
My LISTSERV Inferiority Complex
This is a small post. Nothing very exciting but a little insight into the strange world of LibraryLand. (Incidentally, LibraryLand Headquarters is in ChicagoLand.) Anyway, librarians LOVE listservs. There are ALA listservs for everything: YA literature, Children's literature, Programming, reference books, genre books, computer things, cataloging, censorship, cats, etc. Maybe not cats, but there probably … Continue reading My LISTSERV Inferiority Complex
Humanity through the eyes of the cylon, zombie
Sorry I haven't written in a while. I have an excuse: Battlestar Galactica. (No, not the old Battlestar with Dirk Benedict as Starbuck as seen above, but the new one. I just love this picture. Also, look! Young Tom Sarek!) Yes, I know I'm about five years behind on this but holy frak is that … Continue reading Humanity through the eyes of the cylon, zombie
