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.
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!

“A book isn’t forever.”??? I think my world may be shattered. I’m with the Library of Congress lady…promote the classics, don’t throw them out! *Sniffles* that article made me sad, though I do understand…slightly. As for the roudy kids, I’ve posted way to many comments on your blog about active parenting, but I’ll just say that it makes me angry that some punks are still ruining it for the rest of us.
Hello my friend,
We seem to have missed each other when you were here. Not too suprising. I hope your family is well and you had a good holiday. This was the first christmas I have been away from the family but it was really nice not traveling. Drop me a line soon I would like to keep in touch.
This is quite an amazing little window into your life. Am I to understand that you have a fiance?!?! (I read it in a comment made in november regarding your cake pony blog [eww…]) I hope to hear more aout the recent adventures of Admiral Ahniwa.

Did you know that they have SUPER HERO STAMPS AT THE POST OFFICE!?! I can tottaly fight injustice with every letter I send now. For example, when I send the Time subsciption form back with CANCEL written all over it AGAIN, I use batman with a serious glare on his face. I mean that already says it all am I right?
