Libraries That Matter

I found this neat quote from Eric Stackhouse, chief librarian at the Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, in an article on the website of the Project for Public Spaces (linked below): “Librarians have to think about our spaces differently.

Peter Fletcher concert

The Peter Fletcher concert at Ricker Library tonight was wonderful! Approximately 40 people attended and all appeared to enjoy the music immensely. I came home with three CD’s – one for my grandfather and two for me (and the family). Now I am going to bed – I am exhausted!

Purpose

The whole idea of a blog is kind of odd… I mean, who really cares what is going on with me, or what I think about the latest legislation? Does anyone care? Should anyone care? Probably not.
