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. Before we managed book collections, and today we’re doing much more management of community spaces.” Source: Libraries That Matter Thanks to Deb Locke who […]

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.
