September was insanely busy for me. I do hope October is much calmer and less eventful, but it's looking to be about the same.

There were a number of events that I participated in, at my library and with Bridge to Books. I took photos for all of them and have uploaded them in various places (facebook, flickr, etc). I met a lot of really great ( Read more... )

In this post, I mentioned the ¡Ban This! event that my library had been planning for a couple of months. In case you don't remember it's a reading/signing of the book ¡Ban This!: The BSP Anthology of Xican@ Literature which was a collabtorative effort by 39 different contributors as a response to Arizona's dismantling of the Mexican-American ( Read more... )

There's been a lot going on, so I'm probably going to split these updates into two posts.

This post shall be dedicated to epic upcoming events that I'll be going to.

I may have mentioned before about contacting publishing and production companies and asking for merchandise to use at the library. After finding the correct person to email at Summit entertainment, I was sent thirty Twilight posters... good lord. We're using them to help promote the library on the internet by having random giveaways until the ( Read more... )

The other day at work my coworker, Alicia, made a joke about the trending "poses" going around the internet: planking, owling, tebowing, etc. She mentioned that she should start one called "reading". My other coworker, Art, posted the joke on Twitter, and people really liked the idea. Art is the main admin for our library's blog, so he wrote a post ( Read more... )

My day went alright except for the part where I twisted my ankle, but I think I'll survive considering...

My library has a blog now, and a twitter account. It was decided that I could take photos, of events and whatnot, for the blog. It's exciting, but it's a bit of a process because everyone in the photo has to sign a release form; if they don't we ( Read more... )
