Happy Family Literacy Day! Here’s some pics from a Family Literacy Day event we had at the library a few years back…
A coworker observed that an occupational hazard of working in a place where we hand out rapid tests kits is the risk of people over sharing *why* they want the tests. This gives you this wild anecdotal taste of how widespread Covid is right now – business owners, parents, students, neighbours on each side of […]
My co-worker observed that the two masks laying on my desk at work looked like a bra and she wasn’t wrong. 😉
One of the hardest things about the pandemic is trying to keep up with the latest news/developments/theories (and the fact these are ever-changing gives a lot of fuel to anti-vaxxers which is a different discussion.)

I’ve been thinking about writing a longer post with some thought about how people’s personal social media (and blog?!?) posts are increasingly having repercussions on their work life. This was especially relevant after the Sask Health Association sent out some fairly chilling messages to staff who were posting thoughts/opinions/information about Covid a few months ago. […]
A recent FB post by someone doing a presentation at a library conference asked for good “Other Duties As Assigned” stories. A real mix of cool, gross and sad and pretty much everything in between as you’d expect. (I did my own list of these types of experiences a few years ago but its’ probably […]
