Be The Lemur Librarian
The Mianatra Center for Lemur Studies is looking for a part-tim librarian. If that’s not your style Torres Advanced Enterprise Solutions is looking for a Chief Librarian to be stationed in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Souls Alike
I have the greatest Best Friend ever! Wednesday I arived in Phoenix at 2:30 and had coffee w/ L. We then had some dinner and she took me to see the Souls Alike tour with Bonnie Raitt and Keb’ Mo’. Keb’ Mo’ opened and played a full set. Bonnie joined him for one song at the end. After a short intermission, Bonnie Played a full set and Keb’ Mo’ joined her for a four song encore. As a special suprise, Jackson Brown showed up and joined both of them for a four-song second encore. It was a outdoor concert and the weather was absolutely perfect. We got back to her place about midnight, slept for about 4 hours, and I left for home at 6:35am Thursday morning. Now how’s that for a birthday present?
Absolute Genius!
There’s nothing like coming into work after a few days off to recharge (more about that later) and finding these two gems to make me love this profession.
The first is about John Blyberg and the Cherry Hill Public Library in new Jersey ripping every CD in the collection and making more then 49,000 songs available for patrons to listen to in the library. Yes, even those with laptops over the WiFi network! (John’s Technical post and Michael Stephens’ post with photos.)
The other item courtsey of Michael Stephens is the video from SJCPL’s 2003 staff day. (Be sure to stay through the credits.)
