go go Trina!
I had the pleasure of getting to talk some with Trina Magi, ALA Councilor, noted Vermont librarian and, according to Mother Jones, hellraiser. [thanks liz]
patrons, can’t live with them, can’t ban them permanently from the library
Even though I generally dislike the smarmy tone of much of what appears in Mcsweeney’s, I have been enjoying the occasional Dispatches from a Public Librarian. The content isn’t really much different from what you find on RefGrunt, just the tone is somehow much different.
Later that day I received a call from another librarian at the city’s main library asking if I had had any problems that day with a patron. I said yes, and asked the librarian why. He said the man had come into the main library and filed a complaint against me. I asked if he mentioned coming back after I got off work to beat me up. He had forgotten to mention that. [thanks rob]
spelled dui, thank you
I am presently reading Libraries: An Unquiet History which should be required reading for all librarians. I am learning all sorts of new things and getting many more quotes to populate the sidebar. Did you know that Melville Dewey originally had the middle names Louis Kossuth? Kossuth is widely known and the leader of the Hungarian Revolution. Dewey later dropped the middle names.
we’re not all shussh and no play
Cute little school project about the image of librarians: Recataloging Librarians. [thanks naight]
