DirectorWho: February 2009
http://directorwho.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Seriously, they are doing a build here in town. I just came back from the build site, and while I didn't see any of the 'cast' from the show, there is a LOT of activity and the house has gone from a cleared lot to being roofed in two days! I tried to get on the volunteer list, but by the time I found out about the project, the list had filled. It was that quick. Monday, February 2, 2009. The prison position was less so. They did tell me that anot...

DirectorWho: May 2009
http://directorwho.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 30, 2009. I have two interviews this week. One at a bookstore. Actually, it sounds like a good job. I've worked in a bookstore before, and enjoyed it. This interview is first. The other is for a director position at a nearby library. I know what you are thinking:. Want to go through that again? I just want a job! Plus, I know the library, it's better run and has a firmer base and much more solid staff than that "OTHER" library at which I am no longer employed, and led to my current situation.

Library Anecdotes, Facetiae, Satire, etc. For those of you who are younger librarians, or perhaps non-catalogers: "Anecdotes, facetiae, satire, etc." was a standard subdivision for Library of Congress subject headings. Alas, they've since replaced it with subheadings like "Humor." ( Example. This page is unfiltered. Some links may not be suitable for all viewers. Etc 1: Librarians—Classification.

DirectorWho: Gripe of the week: keeping order in the library
http://directorwho.blogspot.com/2009/08/rant-of-week-keeping-order-in-library.html
Monday, August 17, 2009. Gripe of the week: keeping order in the library. Ok, here's the thing. In several of the libraries at which I have worked, I have encountered staff (not necessarily LIBRARIANS) who have balked at putting or keeping books in order. Now some are easier than others:. Hardbacks on a shelf are easy to see and maintain. Me: "Wait, I'm trying to put these in order here". The patrons just mess them up, it's a waste of time to put them in order". Me: "No, it's job security". So, anyway, w...

DirectorWho: August 2008
http://directorwho.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 27, 2008. Well, we survived - with a record amount of rainfall, but almost no wind. Almost 20" of rain, and many roads closed due to flooding, including major roadways that is really making travel from one part of town or even to other counties (even via interstate) difficult. And now we are bracing for Gustav! Not to wish ill on other states, but I really hope it goes somewhere else. Thursday, August 21, 2008. Tropical Storm Fay: Fear her? Monday, August 18, 2008.

Love the Liberry: Unique Thanks
http://lovetheliberry.blogspot.com/2015/06/unique-thanks.html
Stranger than fiction.we couldn't possibly make these things up. Friday, June 12, 2015. Five minutes to closing I helped a woman with the printer and then with her fines. Before she left, she pointed to a picture of a man's face on a book. She said, "Look at this guy's face. Can you see bliss and love? That's you. Thank you for helping me tonight.".

Love the Liberry: Sauerkraut
http://lovetheliberry.blogspot.com/2015/08/sauerkraut.html
Stranger than fiction.we couldn't possibly make these things up. Tuesday, August 04, 2015. On Sunday and Monday we received 3 reference phone calls about recipes for sauerkraut. Obviously the cabbages are coming in. Do you think they were all from the same person, or different people? Which would be weirder, I wonder. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
