If you pay attention, you’ll see that though I aim for daily posts on this blog, I often don’t do them until the following day for one reason or another (get busy with the kids or fall asleep early or just forget or whatever.) Two ways to know it’s a backdated post are if the […]
I’ve said it before but #RPLStories is easily the best marketing campaign the library I work for has ever done (they’re focused on patron stories so I’m not just saying that because I have a cameo in one of them!) 😉 I knew his story already (likely from his own #RPLStory) but had a lengthy […]

[Caveat: I post tweets that catch my eye but am not asserting that the claims they make are factual or not. You should probably be skeptical of everything you read on the Internet, check who it is posting (a named doctor or an anonymous account), etc.] Pointing out a contraction of anti-mask “logic”… This year […]
