another visited library
While I was on a trip to Northern Vermont this weekend I visited the H. F. Brigham Free Library an adorable little one-room library with a budget of 14K, two Internet-enabled computers and a new hyper librarian who was determined to get the place hopping.
hawai’i’s libraries
The Moon Book Club gets foreign language books to Hawai’i’s libraries. Meanwhile, the Hawai’ian library system has 108 staff vacancies.
The library, beset by a critical staffing shortage and other needs, has an annual budget of only $35,000 for buying books in Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, Filipino and Vietnamese…. the principal difficulty in expanding the collection is cataloging, especially the Asian titles written in characters that must be romanized for the database. They also must be categorized correctly, and it’s sometimes hard to find resources to help librarians do that. [thanks brandon]
battle of the bands @ your library?
Whiel I am sad that Bloodhag lives too far away to come to my library, I am happy that other libraries are jumping on the loud music band bandwagon. [thanks mac]
something to offend everyone @ your library

“A good library collection should have something to offend everyone,” said [children”s librarian] Jan Bojda, “If they don’t, they are not doing their job.” [chitrib, thanks jemmy]
