Marylaine has a compendium of quotes on her site where she keeps all the old “cool quotes” that she uses. I discovered this well before I found out I was on it. Library Juice has this feature as well [links on the left side].

My quote for this week comes from the book Library: An Unquiet History which you should all drop everything right now and read. Matthew Battles has also written adorable libraryish pieces for Hermenaut.
poetry, accidental and otherwise
I found this nifty little poem linked off of my pal Laura’s staff page. I stayed with her when I was in San Diego.

hi
Hi. I’ll be tossing a lot of links up here over the rest of today and I’ll try to include some information on what went down at ALA over the past four or five days. The conference was tiring but really informative. The book signing was fun [and McFarland says we’ve sold more than 800 books already!], and the travelling wasn’t as rough as I thought it would be. Thanks to all the new folks who took the time to say hi or introduce themselves.
