28 Books You Should Read (If You Want To)
I’m probably one of the worst people for loving all of those “50 Books To Read Before You Die”, “10 Books Every Child Should Read”, “17 Books for a Summer Holiday” lists. I mean, they *do* comprise two of my most favouritist things in the world – books and lists. However, I think this list […]
What Are The Best Mentions of a Book Title Within That Book?
A great question from Reddit’s /r/books sub-reddit.
Why Libraries Deserve To Be Hip
A mother explains the value of libraries to her and her family. I like being among the people who come to my branch for English language classes, the retirees who sit and read the newspaper, the rowdy kids who are killing time before they go home, and moms of young children reading their tots Ezra […]
Some Ways Public Libraries Should Be Like Apple Stores (and One Way They Shouldn’t)
Back from a week in Edmonton (well, “a week in the West Edmonton Mall” would be more accurate!) During the week, I took advantage of being in a city with an Apple Store to visit the Genius Bar and get some help with a few different questions I had about my laptop and iPhone. (Unfortunately, […]
Saturday Snap – Freedom to Read Week Display @officialRPL Regent Place Branch
It’s actually kind of goofy how much I look forward to doing a Freedom to Read Week display at the library each year. A couple years ago, I did one at Central and this year, I got to do one for my new branch. Luckily, I still had my “Caution” tape but unlike before when […]
Saturday Snap – Sasha on SaskTel Max’s Video Magazine
SaskTel was out to Regent Place a couple weeks ago to shoot a storytime for their video magazine. This edition’s topic was “Snow” and they used footage of their host at one of our storytimes to introduce a few other segments shot in different locations such as the Saskatoon Zoo. The clips aren’t online yet […]
A Day in the Life of a Branch Librarian
About once a week I work a 10-6 shift instead of a more typical 9-5 one. With one staff member on holidays and one having called in sick, today happened to be particularly busy day starting as soon as I arrived, an hour later than usual. So I thought I’d do a list of a […]
Friday Fun Link – Copyrighted Books For Free, Legally! (Offer Only Good in Norway)
On top of the recent news that by being excellent stewards of their country’s oil wealth, each Norway citizen was now a “millionaire”* (as opposed to some oil-rich jurisdictions that weren’t quite so successful in this regard), comes this story about the National Library of Norway finding a way to make copyrighted works available to […]
R.I.P. Peter Scott
When I try to quickly define my blog for people (at least as it currently exists), I often say it’s about libraries, technology and politics (along with cute pictures of my kids of course.) That’s why the passing of longtime University of Saskatchewan librarian, Peter Scott, is so sad. He was at the intersection of […]
