How The Raptors Became An Elite Team Using Only Non-Lottery Players
Heading into the big game tomorrow where the Toronto Raptors could clinch their first NBA championship, I found a video that might be helpful to all the new bandwagon fans (er, guilty – though I was a pretty massive NBA fan back in the Michael Jordan/Isiah Thomas/Magic Johnson era of the late 1980’s/early 1990’s) […]
Saturday Snap – Community Presentation
A few months ago, one of the regulars at my branch asked me to speak to a retirees’ group she belongs to about the library and all it has to offer. Here’s a shot from after I finished speaking…

Cops & Readers: The Coles Notes Version
About a year and a half ago, Chief Evan Bray of the Regina Police Service was my branch’s celebrity reader for Family Literacy Day. At the end of the event, he said he’d enjoyed it and hoped the police and library could work together more in the future. I mentioned his comment to a couple […]

Now that camping season has started, I’m into that part of my blog calendar where I’m less likely to keep my “daily post” streak alive but may also come back at the end of the weekend and do some “retro” posts backdated to the days I missed. For example, it’s Monday night as I type […]
