Spring is in the air

Several of us have decided that Spring begins on March 1st. Join us in detecting singing birds and warm weather right around the corner.

Re: Bibliocommons

I have to admit that at first I was leery about learning a new card catalog. But now that I have practiced using Bibliocommons, I truly enjoy its new features. I now have a list of books that I someday want to read, and it is very easy to follow my account. Kuddos to the creator(s) of Bibliocommons!

RSS

I have subscribed to three RSS readers (if I have the terminology correct). They are the Columbia Tribune -- to keep up with the newest news, Awful Library Books -- for some laughs, and Hacker News -- just for fun. I think I will enjoy this new technology. I had no idea that it was out there. Of course, there is a lot of technology that I have no idea is out there. And I still love to just sit in front of my fire and read a book.

My favorite award.......

I have to say that my favorite award is Craigslist. On that list are possibilities of new relationships to employment to antiques (my favored furniture type). It is a great directory and I plan to use it a lot.

Christmas is coming....

Christmas is my favorite holiday. Not just because of the giving of presents, which is fun to do and fun to receive, but also because Christmas is that time when people smile at you and wish you Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas. It is a time of watching old favorite movies such as: "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Scrooge" and "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" and "White Christmas". Not all told the Christmas story, but all of the movies have the Christmas spirit of giving and good will to all in them.

I especially like "It's a Wonderful Life" because it shows just how much one person's life can impact a whole community. I like to think that our politeness and helpfulness to a patron here in the library can really make a person's day. And isn't it just so uplifting to do just that.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.

Practice makes perfect......
