Musings of a bibliophile. Asymp; 1 Comment. I’ve struggled to write this post quite a few times already…. Recently, I did something in librarianship that I never imagined doing during my career: a last request. When I nailed down the title, I was to immediately call her son at the number given. The title: Love You Forever. By Robert Munsch…. When I walked into the room, my dear one was sitting up in bed and her face brightened. “I have your book.”.

Musings of a bibliophile. Breathing German, Hooding, and Waders. Asymp; Leave a comment. I’m lying here…mulling library things over while listening to the German breathe. As I was finishing up library school, I held the opinion that those wishing to enter the profession of librarianship should take an oath at an official hooding ceremony prior to commencement. Pretty hardcore, I know. Confession: I still hold that opinion. Would I be a hypocrite if I don’t consider that person a librarian? Question: What...

Musings of a bibliophile. Asymp; Leave a comment. In libraryland, the past 3 months have been both intense and challenging for me. Sometimes it’s easy…and sometimes it’s hard. Big changes. Little changes. Lots of change. Good change. And even some bad change. I can admit to being stressed out. I’ve been referring to (and citing) the ALA Code of Ethics. We uphold the principles of intellectual freedom and resist all efforts to censor library resources. We distinguish between our personal convictions and p...

Musings of a bibliophile. Asymp; Leave a comment. I already expounded on the first principle laid out in the ALA Code of Ethics. I’d like to move along and tackle #3:.

Ranganathan wrote, “The library is a growing organism.”. What this principle means to me:. I’ve heard it all. The good, the bad, and the ugly. If someo...
