I don’t think I ask a lot of my readers. I mean, other than the MotherReader allegiance blood oath. But today, I do have a favor to ask of you. Well, maybe two. If you work in a public library or school library, please take a look at my article in ForeWord and comment about your own public or school library situation. Basically, I’m talking about centralized control of libraries and its effects

Figuring that 200 episodes and one year of Just One More Book!! is a milestone worth celebrating, we took a few minutes to share some stories and thoughts on what we’ve done so far and some of the changes we’re making to our podcast. Is the next milestone episode number 500?
Don’t forget that we will be giving away an autographed copy of Lois Ehlert’s Eating the Alphabet during the first week of September. To qualify, send a review of one of your favourite children’s book (five-minutes or less) as an MP3 file (or text review) in email to [email protected], phone it in to our listener feedback line (+1-206-350-6487) or leave a two-minute MyChingo by August 31, 2007.

Good article, Pam. I'm not a librarian, but as a consumer of library services---see? I can talk the talk!---I would rather have a quirky, individualized local branch than a standardized franchise. I already get consistency and centralized resources through the library system's excellent Internet catalog. I reserve what I want through the Internet, and then I go to the local branch to get it...and stumble across other things that I didn't even know I wanted until I saw them!
I'm going to add a mention of this posting in our weekly newsletter. Now you owe me a favor! LOL
Yeah, that RIF thing needs some attention. On it.
