Between taxes and travel and houseguests and springtime, I’ve been reading less and posting less than usual. This week is National Library Week. Is there a good-looking National Library Week website that you’ve found? Post it in the comments please. I’ve been enjoying the AL Focus NLW videos which you can find on AL Focus and also at their account on blip.tv.
My “to post” bookmarks list is longish and though I try to spare you just a del.icio.us linkbarf, here are some links I’ve liked.
- One of my favorite Peanuts strips about the library.
- A nice little paean to the public library from the Washington Post
- A new book from Library Juice Press that I htink will be fascinating: Questioning Library Neutrality
- Miki Jourdan is a librarian for National Geographic during the day. At night she’s a dj for Radio Sweetheart. She has put together TWO HOURS of singls inspired by literature. Peek here for the schedule of when you can hear it.
- Library Journal’s John Berry, looking for luck (another way of mentioning “OMG Flickr has video!”)
Now, I hadn't considered before that I need a calling card in my life, but now I do.
Clever post. Good luck with whatever you're working on.
I met the owner of Small Meadow Press at the Virginia Festival of the Book in Charlottesville. She gave me a beautiful, pinked-edge business card, and I've admired her work ever since. I bought two packets of her stationery too, one with book quotes and one with Jane Austin quotes. I'm thinking of using them as door prizes to promote Letters From Rapunzel when I speak at conferences this fall. If I can bear to give them up...
