I like kids. They are some of my favorite patrons. However, on school days, when the library is full of them, I like them less. Moreso when I feel like they’ve been dumped there and don’t want to be there any more than I’d like them to be wandering bored in front of the refdesk. Apparently [and I pretty much knew this] this is not a phenomenon singular to our library. It’s a social problem, and a bad one. [thanks all]

hi – 02feb
Hi. I saw my shadow so there’s ten more weeks of Winter. It is Vermont after all. Thanks to some nudging and helpful email from Hilary, I have categories up and running after a fashion. RSS readers you’ll have to come to the site to see what I mean.
hi – 30jan
Hi. One of the things I don’t like about aggregated news is its tendency to sort of swim rootless in space and time. I’m adding a date in the title field of my first post of the day. This weekend I will wrestle with getting MT categories to be a way to browse posts on my site. Also, Greg and I went out to a nice dinner at AJ’s steakhouse in White River Junction last night. AJ’s is a cool 35 minute drive from our house and as such it is the closest steakhouse to where we live. I got a NY strip sirloin and Greg got a tuna steak. We both had dessert which is, of course, crazily profligate in our law-student and half-time librarian lives. Thanks to any and all who clicked through the Powell’s link and bought stuff from that nice independent union shop in Portland.
wifi vs CIPA
What are the CIPA implications for a library that provides WiFi access? TechnoBiblio’s Aaron discusses the problem they are having grappling with this at his library.
