Banned Books and a Few More Reasons to Love San Francisco

Banned Books Week is coming up and I’ve been reading a lot of various articles on what libraries are doing to promote awareness of intellectual freedom. But this article in the SF Weekly just made my day!!
First thing I loved:
“The library’s collection development director, Laura Lent, says she can recall only one instance in the [...]

Outside the Box

I just had to share this neat advertising campaign to promote library use and services in Wyoming. I love it!!

And isn’t this purdy:

Bookishness

Took a short shift at the library last night. With the tight upcoming budget at the county I’m taking time whenever they offer it to me.
I had quite forgotten about Wednesday nights. How there’s time were I’m actually not sending any books anywhere. It’s quiet, less people. Some of my books for school had come [...]

Primer Dia

<rambling>
Today saw the official start of my second semester. I’m oscillating between being super excited and raring to go with oh gaaaaaawwwwwd kill me now. The best piece of news thus far is an awesome gal from last semester is in one of my classes so yay! It’s the little things that make completely online [...]

De Lorean

Just got ready for work and ready to head out the door to the library. And then I realized that it’s Friday, not Saturday.
Damn.
My head was totally there. I think I just time traveled.

Smell

Or scent which has less unpleasant connotations associated with it. Seems to come up frequently in my daily life. Especially lately.

On and On

Guess who got a raise? MEEEEEEEEEEE!! *dances around room listening to her chair rawk* Definitely aids in the incentive to get to the desk in the morning
Library was kinda fun [...]

Nosebleed in the supermarket

Damn allergies.
Funny things that have really happened in the past week, no joke!
1) Landlord some years back that unlocked and walked into my apartment unannounced while I was having some sex for the purpose of changing the lock without notifying me (WFTF!?!?! I moved out next month) just myspace friend requested me. Do you think [...]

Library Night Light

So yesterday was another interesting day at the library. Besides the Screaming Man yelling IS ANYONE THERE?!?! HELLLLOOO?!?! across the library (um, yes sir, the library is open) and Crazy Tall Meth Guy talking to Wandering Kid of hippies about selling his parents something cuz he reeeeeaaally needs money (um, your kid is in the [...]

The Kindness of Strangers

One of the reasons I like to volunteer at the local public library is because I’m nosy; I like to see what other people are reading. And as I’m directing books on their paths, this one on hold for a woman in Fort Bragg or this one being sent en route to Guernville, I [...]
