Unshelved and NYLA

Today's post is going to come to you in two parts. Part 1: I just wanted to touch on how great the library comic strip "Unshelved" is. If you have never read this strip I recommend you check it out. In the strip a librarian by the name of Dewey (I wonder where they got that from) is a sarcastic, book loving, movie watching, apathetic individual that has to deal with odd requests from patrons and co-workers on a daily basis. It is a wonderful strip and they have a bunch of cool T-shirts you can get (I'm a sucker for T-shirts).

Part 2: Is a little funny because it seems much more important that post 1. Anyway, I'M GOING TO THE NYLA ANNUAL CONFERENCE AT NI AGRA FALLS IN OCTOBER! The director at my library invited me along. NYLA is the New York Library Association. They have a huge get together every year where librarians come from all around the state and talk library stuff. I applied for an award a few months back and if I won I would have been sent for free. I didn't win, but that's ok because I'm going any way. I'll give you some more updates on what is going to happen this year at the conference in a later post.

For now, be safe and keep reading!
