While I was on a very nice Christmas vacation back in Olympia, I was sent a few interesting library-related stories that I thought I’d link to here for your reading pleasure. Hope everyone had a great holiday and that the new year is off to a good start!

Lock the Library! Teens are rowdy, that’s just the way it is. Hormones or something.

Limited shelf space means some things have to go, but does that mean we should throw away our classics?

Librarians stake their future on open source. “A group of librarians at the Georgia Public Library Service has developed an open source, enterprise-class library management system that may revolutionize the way large-scale libraries are run.”

Holiday updates and such will be posted in due course, along with some of the photos I took on my shiny new camera. Stay tuned!
