If you want to play, go to your Facebook account and search for MCLS Open Discussion, then ask to join. Hope to see you there! What’s Happened Here? Send t...

Wild Ideas for Public Libraries. The Art of Noticing. February 4, 2013. February 4, 2013. A few days ago, a co-worker sent me a link to an interview with Seth Godin. Krista Tippett, author of the blog On Being, talks with Godin.

Wild Ideas for Public Libraries. July 22, 2013. Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to spend more time than usual talking to staff and to patrons of Monroe County libraries.

All are thinking about what their patrons want and need. Should I buy a 3-D printer? I briefly glanced at an article somewhere in recent days that seemed to focus on using a 3-d printer to bri...
