Greg goes to MLA
Speaking of librarian activism, Greg from Shush, the conservative librarian blog, has been at the MA Library Association conference doing a little conservative library activism. Greg and I may disagree politically about pretty much everything, but he was personable when I met him, works a few towns over from where I grew up [and may very well represent the views of a lot of that community], and anyhow I’m always interested in people’s activist awakenings, even if it’s not for “my” side.
hi – 29apr
Hi. I taught 12 seniors how to use email yesterday. Then I taught a searching class on our Heritage Quest database. Showed a patron what an ISBN was and how it works. Sent out 20 thank-you letters to people who signed up for library cards last week. Got an IM handle for the library [add rutlandfree to your buddy list]. Learned how to change the colors on our ugly OPAC. Friday I’m on the reference desk all day. It’s been a good week to be a librarian.
librarians ARE hot
We all know librarians are hot — or some of them are — but it seems that the book reviewers on Amazon.com know it too. [thanks jonathan]
yay, it’s late April
Like the Male Librarian Centerfold, I too am glad the tax season is mostly over at my library.
