Our children’s librarians have been raving about this book and passing it around the library. I’ve got to say I agree – it’s hilarious! (And yes, I see the irony in posting the YouTube video promoting a book that shows the advantages of old tech over new tech!)
Today is my second anniversary with RPL (only twenty-eight more years to go – but who’s counting?) so I thought I’d do a list to celebrate. On my old blog, I detailed the story of how, when asked in an interview where I’d like to end up in my career, I blurted out that I’d […]
