A month. Over a month! I would say I'm slacking but this is Bryn's Busy Face. I'm working in a school library. I'm in library school. Life is fantastic. Especially since I've discovered I love cataloging. Ahhh the finality and organization of it all.
I've also read tons of wonderful new and new-to-me books. Unfortunately it looks like even my weekly commitment to update is too much. I find myself wanting to unleash about how Life is going and not draft a discourse of school or literature. So for my faithful readers (Mom) I'm going have to suspend this blog or at least let it be known that it will not be regularly updated. I know you're all crushed (Mom, maybe Dad). In the meantime, please visit the fabulous, regularly-updated blogs from my blogroll to your left.
Until next time, kids.
(but i will leave you with my new favorite book ...)

If you're going to ALA and you'll still be in town on Tuesday (unfortunately, I will not be...), the ALA Washington office has organized the opportunity for Library Day on the Hill. Now before you start envisioning Jack and Jill fetching a pail of water, this sounds like a great way to join forces with other librarians in your region and make your voice heard.
At the very least, it is a chance to remind your national elected official that you indeed have a voice. Here's the PDF letter you can use to invite your elected official to go to the Gold Room, see the bookmobiles or--this seems pretty cool--have their own READ poster made. Now if you could work a deal, where your elected official would ALSO provide a copy of their unique READ poster for your library...what a better way to give them a spotlight in your library, with constituents, and help remind them of why your library is so important and needs their support.
Speaking of library support, I just saw the LJXpress about the House Subcommittee slashing LSTA and IMLS funds. Not exactly a rosy outlook. But at least you'll have something to talk about, when you're on the Hill.
