Round Two...

You know, sometimes you just can't-- or don't want to -- get away from work! I mean, We're in the Eastern Caribbean on a cruise ship many, many miles from Florida. My wife and I can't help but overhear several conversations during the week dealing with libraries. She smiles and is amazed.

During one lunch, Mary Ann and I were talking to a couple from Delaware. They were in the beginning stages of planning a library in their home. I gave them some practical advice on shelving (no pine, maple or oak only, flip them every few years). Well, they were fascinated with the fact I'm a librarian. The questions kept on coming about the inside machinations of libraries. It was fun answering their questions. But after about 15 minutes of goodwill I finally said, "I would love to talk more about this, but... I'm on vacation."

You know the feeling...

Getting started...

Just back from the Eastern Caribbean, so I'm a bit late getting started. See my photo? I have been dressing a lot like that lately. What with all the renovations, moves and weeding going on in the north area branches.

To the OBB staff who are scattered about the county. Take heart! The TQB staff has their new home back. Some day you will too!
