Congratulations to the new President-elect and Vice-President-elect

One of the librarians of the 2-Year Academic variety passed on the link to Obama's 2005 keynote speech to the American Library Association annual convention, which reads, in part:

"It is a pleasure to address you today because of what libraries represent. More than a building that houses books and data, the library has always been a window to a larger world - a place where we've always come to discover big ideas and profound concepts that help move the American story forward.

And at a time when truth and science are constantly being challenged by political agendas and ideologies; a time where so many refuse to teach evolution in our schools, where fake science is used to beat back attempts to curb global warming or fund life-saving research; libraries remind us that truth isn't about who yells the loudest, but who has the right information. Because even as we're the most religious of people, America's innovative genius has always been preserved because we also have a deep faith in facts.

And so the moment we persuade a child, any child, to cross that threshold into a library, we've changed their lives forever, and for the better. This is an enormous force for good."

Thanks Robert, for providing the link and the look at President-elect Obama's views on education and libraries! As another colleague said, "I was there and saw him deliver it. I told everyone when I came back that if this man ever ran for president, he had my vote!!!!! :)" Helen

I hope that all will demonstrate patience and hope as this presidency goes forward. Meanwhile, Happy Obama Day, as my daughter Bethany greeted me this morning.

Poetry Reading Succeeds

Poet Daniel Spees
John Jenkinson, founder of the Oil Hill Poetry Reading Series
Attentive audience at the L.W. Nixon Library

..."What has become a tradition at Butler Community College grew another year stronger Wednesday when Daniel Spees delivered a poetry presentation as part of the Oil Hill Reading Series..." "...Spees now celebrates another important landmark in his writing career with the publication of his first full-length poetry collection this year, "Asleep in the Orchard Grass." That publication was the source for the readings Spees gave to the audience...."

P.S. It's Election day....

... and I'm off to vote now.

Foreclosure - the old way

Foreclosure Survival Guide:
Keep Your House or Walk Away With Money In Your Pocket
by Attorney Stephen R. Elias
NOLO, September 2008
The No. 1 topic of conversation in the news and around the office today and tomorrow? Foreclosures. They rose in the U.S. by over 79 percent last year—and over two million more are expected in the next two years.

Written by a practicing lawyer who has helped hundreds keep their homes or come out of foreclosure financially sound, Foreclosure Survival Guide provides practical solutions and information that can help readers make the best decisions possible, including what to expect from foreclosure, whether it's worth trying to keep the house and using Chapter 13 bankruptcy to save a home.

Foreclosure Survival Guide: Keep Your House or Walk Away With Money In Your Pocket will be provided with free, unlimited access November 1-30. The author's video tells more.

This Halloween, We Went to Prom

And still we provided great library service!

And sometimes, sad

Farewell, Magic...
