Comment on Libraries and Cities Working Together by Civil Librarian

Julie,

I really enjoyed your post! At last week’s Public Library Association conference, I attended a couple of workshops that really got me thinking about the role of public libraries in the economic development of the community. Here’s a link to a blog post of mine based on that experience:

Based on some of the research I’ve done since I got back from the conference, it seems that this is an issue about which a majority of librarians simply aren’t even aware. Now I can’t wait to find out more about the ICMA/Public Libraries committee you mentioned.

As an aside, my sister-in-law lives in Albany, CA and tells me she loves her local library!

Julie: It would be interesting to take one of the titles and rewrite it with the language you suggest and then have some kids read it and see what they think.

I found a new book that my kids love called Archy the Flying Dolphin.
My kids really love animals and pretty much anything do with animals. My daughter LOVES dolphins. She really loves that movie with that dolphin in it… Thumper…Flipper thats it…
Anyways, hope this book finds you well, my kids adore it. Haven’t really heard much from them since they turned the first page!

I am also a Reference Librarian and I usually recommend “The Thirteenth Tale” by Diane Setterfield and “Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name” by Vendela Vida. Both are very good general fiction books and I have never had anyone come back and complain about not enjoying them!
