Reflections of a public librarian: librarianship, technology and whatever - see also Cybrary Reviews. Wednesday, June 16, 2010. The City Council's Capital Facilities Committee. I'm looking forward to seeing the range of responses from the thirteen member committee - I'm sure there are many ideas I'd agree with, and maybe some I won't. Although I do not sit on the committee, Ald. Martin solicited feedback from Library administrative staff. Herewith, his questions. Project Feasibility Decision Matrix.

Reflections of a public librarian: librarianship, technology and whatever - see also Cybrary Reviews. Monday, April 12, 2010. Authentic voices of children. Stories are a way out - it's not about a secret, it's about the story. If other people understand the story, you're not alone. It's safe - there's a place inside a book where it's real.

the New Cybrary: Goodbye (part 1)
http://newcybrary.blogspot.com/2011/01/goodbye-part-1.html
Reflections of a public librarian: librarianship, technology and whatever - see also Cybrary Reviews. Thursday, January 6, 2011. After forty years working in libraries, including thirty-two years at APL – of which twenty-two have been in administration and the last fifteen as Director, I’m down to my last day before retirement. So what’s changed? With so many changes, are libraries still the same and relevant? Absolutely, and more than ever! The technology changes the techniques, but not the values.

Last night, while I was enjoying myself at a City Council meeting, my wife saw a car pull into our driveway. A gentleman got out, using a crutch, climbed our porch and knocked on our door. When my wife answered, he asked if this were the home of the Terry Dawson who donated the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. To the public library. Great story. I hope youll share th...

Reflections of a public librarian: librarianship, technology and whatever - see also Cybrary Reviews. Friday, August 20, 2010. Art @ APL (2010). We have other pieces that are not displayed or are in staff offices. But I love the eclectic blend of local history, local and state artists and a few other things. Art is another medium through which the library expresses culture, diversity and community. Thanks, Dan! Very cool. Makes me a little homesick though. August 20, 2010 at 4:11 PM. Art @ APL (2010).
