Hard Times in Libraries

Times are really tough in Libraryland these days...or is this the ultimate in recycling? Popcorn fish would beat the shedding fluff that goes everywhere from jiffy bag packing, but probably smell pretty rank by the time it was delivered in any heat.

Google is good. Libraries are better.

This seemed appropriate to include after previous post..fair and balanced, right?

Think this kid will understand why he was banned from the library? I wonder if they kick out tourists who come to read the newspaper too?

Just to say Thanks to Library Staff for All You Do

Since 2004 in order to recognize the hard work, dedication, and expertise of library support staff and librarians The U. S. Congress has proclaimed the Tuesday of National Library Week be designated National Library Workers Day; and, that on that day, interested library workers, library groups, and libraries should advocate for better compensation for all library workers.

"Every Day is Full of Teachable Moments""

On the CBS Early Show this morning Kenneth C. Davis, author of the Don't Know Much About series, talked with Harry Smith about the importance of staying informed in 2009. How to do it?

Web 2.0 , Connectivity, and Possibilities

This YouTube video "The Connected Student" has me really exhilarated. Presented in the style of the Common Craft videos, it demonstrates very effectively how Web 2.0 enables connectivity and excitement to be added to education. While this video demonstrates the experience of a high school student, imagine it carried through into lifelong learning! Libraries need to figure out how they can be a part of this.
