I just got home from a hugely successful program at the library. Tom Rea, a writer from Casper, came to talk about Ella Watson, also known as “Cattle Kate.” Thirty people packed the library–we ran out of regular chairs and had people sitting on the little kids’ chairs, but no one seemed to mind. I […]
While it’s true that Chicago still ranks as the center of the library webiverse, we’re not doing too badly out here in the West. Here are a few Wyoming librarians I know of on the web. If you are one and aren’t listed here, or if you know of others, please let me know, and […]
Update: the first link should actually go to the post in question now–thanks to Mark for noticing the error.
Awhile back I wrote a preface.
I just got back from teaching my final digital photography class of the season at the library. Our summer hours start on Tuesday, and we won’t be open again in the […]
People have been making alternative READ posters, and I made one too. If you’re in a hurry, you can use this nifty Flickr toy.
I took the somewhat longer route, which I’m detailing just in case it’s useful to anyone (I’m always curious about how people did stuff). I used iPhoto to crop an old picture […]
I’m in Wyoming, I finally have my computer back, and, as of yesterday afternoon, I have home internet access! Expect more bloggery in the future about Wyoming librarianship, what it’s like to go from library school student to branch manager, what my job hunt was like, why I’m still a member of ALA, and other […]

I don’t normally keep track of the books I read, although I keep meaning to. I didn’t manage to this summer, either, but in case you did and feel that your summer reading efforts have gone underappreciated, may I offer you this handsome […]
Iowa City Ped Mall

I’m just practicing this whole blogging photos thing. This is what the downtown of my hometown looks like in late August, mid-morning. If you kept going straight down the ped mall and then swung left, you’d hit the Iowa City Public Library.
update 9/5/05 9:55 pm CST: Flickr link at the bottom is now fixed and will actually take you to pictures and not to Wired article
I am late to jump on many bandwagons, and, quite often, just simply late. Last weekend, which now seems impossibly long ago, I took a trip home (though I spend […]
