Patricia Uttaro the director of the Ogden Farmers’ Library in Spencerport, NY (half-way between my folks in Greece and my brother in Brockport, and home to an aunt,) has a blog. Now, if the director of a library that serves a population of approximately 3500 thinks it’s worth her time to blog, what’s your director’s excuse?
Oh, and did I mention they’re getting iPods to circulate? Check out what they’re pre-loading them with:
“In addition, we will offer iPod devices for borrowing. Some iPods will be pre-loaded with a recorded tour of the Village and Town so visitors can find their way to places like Coffee Cabana, Grandpa Sam’s, the Unique Shop, Union Street Primitives, and Afrikamba Curios. Also loaded on the devices will be a pre-recorded historic tour of the Village that can be used by local people and school children studying the Erie Canal. Other iPods can be borrowed long-term by people traveling along the canal.”
Next time I’m back home, I’m going to make a point to stop by and meet Ms. Uttaro and thank her for being so progressive.
Hi Michael…
Your dad emailed me to let me know I had earned a mention in your blog. He’s a member of the genealogy society that meets at this libary. Thanks for recognizing our efforts.
