There's the knowledgeable librarian. There's the sexy librarian. There's the professionally trained librarian. And then there's me :: the clueless librarian. |

Notes"A library is many things. It’s a place to go, to get in out of the rain. It’s a place to go if you want to sit and think. But particularly it is a place where books live, and where you can get in touch with other people, and other thoughts, through books… A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your questions answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people — people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book."26 years ago today, the world lost E. B. White – remember him with his poetic letter to children on the love of libraries.

Badass motherfucker of the century.
THIS KID GIVES ME HOPE.
I never thought I’d be giving huge props to someone named Nekochan, but if that’s the environment she’s in, even having a mild catgirl interest in Japanese culture is kind of a success.
You go, Neko. ^5

Notes
Hearts weigh quite a lot. That is why it takes so long to grow one. But, as in their reading and arithmetic and drawing, different children proceed at different speeds. (It is well known that reading quickens the growth of a heart like nothing else.)

Notes![TEDGlobal 2011: “The Stuff of Life” program book designed by Hybrid Designs
[W]e asked Dora Drimalas of Hybrid Design about the relevance of print as a medium. “The printed program is an integral part of the conference experience. It’s a keepsake. TED is all about interactivity. The program book provides tactile interactivity. Conference goers are encouraged to take notes, mark pages, and journal about the amazing things they see and hear.” The book is printed in traditional four-color process with a second hit of black for the rich solids. The front and back covers use a two-level sculpted emboss to give life to the wood blocks that make up the title. Dora says — and one can see by looking — that the die maker “went nuts” on the die; the detail in the wood grain and surface of the blocks is so realistic it looks and feels real. “By embossing the front and back covers we made the book a more visceral experience, more of a ‘thing.’ We made it part of life’s ‘stuff,’” she observes.
