Day 22 Feb 05

read this: ricklibrarian

I’d like to point everyone to the new blog ricklibrarian. Rick is the Head of Adult Services at our library and loves to read. From his page, it is:

a review of books, websites, movies, or anything worth reviewing with comments about libraries and librarianship

Rick writes thoughtful reviews for the library, so I know that these will be good. Subscribing to the ricklibrarian atom feed could seriously help you with your Readers’ Advisory work!

gaining ground

The Delft Public Library (yes, in Holland) has joined the flickr group “Public Libraries.”

Side note: Check out the openbare bibliotheek delft website. It has an RSS feed, it has a great color scheme, I’ve seen no other library website look so hip (tho it is a bit broken in firefox). My favorite part of the site is the chat box on the front page. It employs the awesome metaphor of owls for the librarian and an eared worm for patrons. Wait a minute…

I hope they offer library paraphernalia with these guys on them, because they are on the level of Hello Kitty cuteness! Aside from liking the way it looks, of course I think it is great that they are making themselves available in this way.
