A Splendor of Letters : The Permanence of Books in an Impermanent World
by Nicholas A. Basbanes
I’ve begun to customize this blog just a little more today. First is me as a lego character off to the right (in the default page style.) Click on the image to build your own. Second, below the links are is a “visual styles” area. Try ‘Darkness’ and let me know what you think. (Should work on all current browsers.) Lastly, I’ve been trying to come up with a more unique way to feature book covers. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:
Michael Sauers is the Director of Logan Library in Logan, UT. Prior to this he was one of the founding staff and Technology Manager for Do Space in Omaha, NE. After earning his MLS in 1995 from the University at Albany's School of Information Science and Policy Michael spent his first 20 years as a librarian training other librarians in technology along with time as a public library trustee, a bookstore manager for a library friends group, a reference librarian, a technology consultant, and a bookseller. He has written dozens of articles for various journals and magazines and has published 14 books ranging from library technology, blogging, Web design, and an index to a popular horror magazine. In his spare time, he blogs at TravelinLibrarian.info, runs The Collector's Guide to Dean Koontz website at CollectingKoontz.com, takes many, many photos, and typically reads more than 100 books a year.
Unless otherwise stated, all opinions are my own and are not to be considered those of the City of Logan, UT.
