The librarian

Lorcan 1 min read

I read The Librarian, a novel from Larry Beinhart, a few weeks ago. I have used it in external presentations [ppt] and also used the concept of ‘fog facts’ (see below) in internal presentations. I have been surprised not to have seen much mention of it more widely. Well, it has now been reviewed in today’s NYT by somebody who does not seem to see much future for libraries!

Smile: let's see your teeth

I was excited to discover the graphic novel Smile by Raina Telgemeier. The subject matter has strong personal resonances for me.
