Library Stuff

Jul 06, 2008 08:32

One of the things that I love so much about my job is that the field is constantly changing and trying new things. You may think this is crazy talk if you don't work in a library. What could possibly change about libraries, you ask? Everything! Book mobiles were in, they were out they were in again, they were in as a service only to children, they're in as a service to the elderly, and now a new generation of "sprinter vans" may be changing the purpose of book mobiles once again. Of course, they're always about taking books to people who otherwise might not have access to them, but let's face it, they're cool. Did you know, for instance that books have been transported by wagon? by dog sled? I don't feel like finding links to these things, I just wanna rant on today.

Anyway, we have a new Digital Services department, with a great person at the helm who is full of energy, creativity and innovation-fervor. I love having new things to think about! So, her post about the passion quilt (see above) was very cool and inspiring. I've seen other library bloggers do this, like here and here, but it was fun to see it in one of our own departments.

Anyway, I uploaded a slide to my Flickr Account today. What do you all think? What are you passionate about?
