The Impact of Having a Librarian Doing Your Reader's Advisory…

Bush's wife is a librarian for anybody who doesn't know.  (Now if she could just teach him to pronounce “eclectic”…)Oh, and I'm tagging this with “humour” but really, it's about as far from funny as it gets.  I think it was better when Bush admitted that all he read was Sports Illustrated and summaries of […]

About Me (A Timeline of My Life)

Following up on my promise from awhile ago to add an “About Me” page to this blog, I decided to do something a bit different than the traditional, paint-by-numbers, paragraph-long business-style bio or the fun but frivolous, paragraph-long informal version that many web sites have (er, no offense meant if that's what your web site […]

Saskatchewan's New Family Day – I Called It! (Almost)

Now, far be it for me to take all the credit for Saskatchewan's first-ever Family Day.  But I would like to point out that I made a very accurate prediction, way back in July 2006 about a holiday that was announced in late October of that same year (er, if you ignore the part where […]

Public Humiliation (aka the Public Library Game)

Here's a goofy idea I had for a fun (yet embarrassing) entry… I've been going to public libraries since I was a kid.  I've visited libraries across country like they were tourist attractions (which I guess means that they are – at least for me!).  I've just finished my Master of Library Science degree.  And […]

Nursing Truths (in the "RN" sense, not the "baby juice" sense)

Nurses, rightfully so, have one of the highest trust/respect ratings of any profession in society. But like any profession, they're not immune to frustrations with their patients.
