Random Thoughts, Notes, & Incidents

Who says librarians all have to be boring? Here's a collection of librarians who all keep weblogs that will keep you amused for hours:

• The Loopy Librarian
• The Spinster Librarian (kind of filling the stereotype)
• The Flaky Librarian (very flaky; hasn't updated since October)
• The Book Slut (isn't obscene at all)
• The Library Geek
• The Rogue Librarian

Speaking of library news: My local (Los Gatos, CA) "Friends of the Library" group has turned to Amazon.com's "Wish List" system in their efforts to get donations for the library. Of the 50 or so items they posted on their wish list, 5 have been purchased so far. Considering they only posted this a little over a week ago, I think that's pretty good. I'll be watching to see if this campaign is successful.
