I love my library request list!

Zandria — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 17:03:56 -0500

Since I don't have room to store books anymore and ended up giving a lot of them away, 99.9% of the books I read come from the library. I use the request feature a lot! It's grand. :)

Libraries are a Life line

I'm another library lover. They were incredibly important to me as a child growing up in St. Louis and they remain critical to me now. They help me save money and I've been able to find a # of out-of-print books I've been looking for at the libary. They also keep me linked in to people and community happenings. I can tend to go deep into my home space/computer zone so I need places like the library to keep me linked in. Besides, the more we use the library, the less likely their funds will be cut because we are showing they are vital by our using them.

I keep a "want to read" list on my shelfari.com list and print it out when I go to the library. I, however, limit my book requests to 10.

Because I'm an Enabler

A few years ago I discovered the most amazing tool--Jon Udell's Library Lookup. You install it on your toolbar, look up a book at Amazon, then click the Jon Udell link for your library. It's instantly in your library reserve queue. If you're interested, I have instructions at Blogging Basics 101. I find it invaluable! The down side is that some cities/towns aren't included.

Thanks for the mention! I'll add that readers should check out the finalists and winners of the Lambda Literary Awards. Fiction, non-fiction, kids' books...lots of good stuff.

Well Maybe A Good Idea Can't Be Extinguished

Like I said the Universe was knocking upside my head and I have learned that it is in my best interest to be quiet and pay attention when I get a Twitter from upon on high.

Maybe the ultimate victory is that some of those Iroquois values were transmitted across time. I hope so. Maybe if we continue to move the positive stuff forward it will eventually take root.

Much to do my friends, much to do.

You are wise and connected

I so enjoy your blog posts. They are full of information. Thanks for sharing the constitution of the Iroquois. A few years back, I remember seeing a book that was written about Native American "government" and how it formed the basis for a lot of the US democracy. Can't remember the title. (The founders of this nation took their laws and nearly extinguished them.)

Thanks for your writing.

As I can't be in San Fran *sigh*, I will be at the Atlanta mini-conference and I'm excited to meet some of these blogging giants. I'm all up on that Amazon pre-order too. Here's to inspiration for the next book!

While I don't actually have

earlgreyrooibos — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:30:19 -0500

While I don't actually have any children, if I did, I'd agree with your policy. I don't think there's any point in trying to edit out sexism once children can read and figure it out for themselves. At that point, they're ready for you to start discussing the sexism with them. Maybe not in theoretical terms, but certainly by explaining the basics in terms of fairness.

This is so exciting! The author list kind of defines "star-studded cast." I'm so bummed that I can't come to the DC event but I'll try to send friends.

I am beyond excited about this book!

The blogosphere already knows what amazing writers these people are. Now their gifts will be shared with the world at large.

My Amazon pre-order is already in, but you can bet I'll be buying a copy at BlogHer, too. (And not just because I'm rooming with Rita.) ;)
