Saturday Snap – Building A Playground Is Building A Community

With our respective schedules, Shea and I end up with one Friday off together each month. Yesterday, we did some errands in the morning then went over to our kids’ school where, after years of fundraising by the Student Community Council, they were finally about to build a new playground structure with the help of […]

A Taste of What The Public Library in a Village of 255 People Has To Offer…

Man, do I love small town libraries! And always great to see the amazing things happening across the regional system where I first worked after completing my MLIS 13 (!) years ago.

Music Monday – “This tiny space is all I need to live in/A simple life’s good for the soul/And I think I’m going to live in a boler/Tow it behind me wherever I go”

I used this song as part of a longer end-of-season montage after our first summer seasonal site three years ago but it deserves a post of its own. (Make sure you read the story about the singer from the Ovarian Cancer “Walk of Hope” page below – very tragic story for such a joyful song.) “Living […]
