My Day in the Life of a Librarian
This is my first time participating in the “Day in the Life of a Librarian” project, as inspired by Bobbi Newman. Here’s the run-down on my day for Wednesday, January 27, 2010, as the Branch Manager of the South Columbus Public Library:

New places, new faces
This past Monday, I started in my new position as Branch Manager of the South Columbus Public Library, a branch of the Chattahoochee Valley Libraries in Columbus, GA. Of course, I’ve been busy getting myself moved and settled into my new surroundings, but in terms of geography and time and opportunity, so many things have [...]
xkcd – “Outreach”
This post serves two purposes:
1) an ironic illustration of data collection strategies, which caught my attention since I believe that almost all good library decision-making starts with solid market research and a clear understanding of the public you intend to serve, and

The theme for 2009 is [...]
Wordle: Cymbeline
Yeah, like a lot of other library people, I’ve been having way too much fun with Wordle. Here’s the text of Cymbeline, one of my favorite plays by Shakespeare.
What I find fascinating about this is that “Imogen” actually appears larger than “Cymbeline” (and larger than any tag for a male character), and it’s actually the [...]
LOLs
I don’t care what J says. This is so, so precious.
Thanks to Mel for sending me the ICHC pic.
Happiness is a warm kitten
Having grown up with two dogs (Buttons when I was a baby and a toddler, and Coco when I was a child and an adolescent), I’ve always thought of myself as a dog person. But in recent years, I’ve noticed that a lot of librarians tend to be cat people — whether this has something [...]
