Every once in awhile, I like to stop and evaluate myself. And I love to get feedback from you, the followers of this website. After all, without readers, I might as well blog to my office walls—which I love for their greenness, but not for their conversational skills. I don’t want to keep doing the [...]

Sav, Vicki, and I are road trippin to Chicago this Saturday for the American Library Association’s annual conference! Well, not the conference itself, but the Stacks, in which thousands of people will visit hundreds of booths (involving books, publishers, authors, and everything a librarian could ever want).
