Do you have collector dreams ever, where you find one fo the world’s rarest things? I used to have dreams when I was a kid stamp collector of finding an inverted Curtis Jenny stamp. Apparently, one librarian in Maine had this dream come true and was recently verified to be in posession of the world’s rarest silver dollar. [thanks belva]

I know you know it, but librarians rock
One of the good things about library work is that it gives you all sorts of interesting information inputs that you can do neat stuff with. A lot of librarians I know have some creative side project. If you live in the Springfield [MA] area you might be lucky enough to catch the Librarian DJs on WSCB. If you can’t, their playlists are online, at their blog.

Speaking of zines — here’s an only slightly outdated list of zine libraries. The Independent Publishing Resource Center even has their zine catalog online.
strings attached — keep this building for 20+ years
Library that got expansion grant 17 years ago cannot move to larger quarters and shut the [expanded] library down completely until 20 years have passed. This happened in my town too, just recently. The town owns the building and due to some law or another, needs to use the building for town purposes. Thi sis usually how historical societies get such great digs, I reckon. [thanks jeanette]
