The Liminal Librarian

Bagpiper out my window

I’ve been on kind of a peripatetic library conference binge across the U.S. lately: Two weeks ago, I was at Internet Librarian in California. Last week, I was in Birmingham talking about “getting unstuck” to the southern chapter of MLA. (And, for no apparent reason, was serenaded by a bagpiper outside my hotel balcony for a good half hour!) Today, I’m in Wisconsin talking about “the cross-generational library workforce” at WLA, and on Monday I’ll be in Chicago to talk about alternative careers to the Chicago area SLA.

Then, we break til spring! But, seriously — it’s so much fun meeting librarians across the country and seeing how we’re all facing similar issues and finding creative solutions. If I’m speaking somewhere you happen to be, stop by and say hi.
