goblin cartoons

Lo and behold, I’m beginning a new blog, devoted solely to the fine and ancient art of being a public librarian. Why? Good question. Maybe someday I’ll have a good answer. In the meantime, chew on this: everyday I read quite a few blogs written by librarians about librarian things, I enjoy them and learn from them, and I’d like to participate in the biblioblogispherical action in any way that I can. I’ve previously written about library stuff on my other blog, goblin cartoons, but I’ve decided that having a blog devoted exclusively to the ars bibliotheca is what the kids these days are calling “a good idea.” So here I am.

What will I blog about here? A little of this, a little of that. Anecdotes about my workplace, rants and raves about where I hope to see libraries heading, babblings about new hardware and software that contribute to the juicy goodness of libraries, links to news stories and blog posts that tickle my librarian fancy, and…well, who knows? We’ll see how it goes.

“Who are you?” you may ask if you don’t know me from Adam (or even if you do). Another good question. I’m a short, spikyhaired guy, bespectacled and befuddled, with a squeaky voice and a crooked smile. Most days you’ll find me ensconced behind the reference desk at the Indian Creek Branch of the Olathe Public Library. Or walking frenetically through the stacks. Or helping a patron with a computer problem. Or hiding in the back offices, surfing the Web. I hate to brag–really I do–but I have a knack for mischief, a passion for play, and a mad enthusiasm for what I do. I’m the goblin in the library. How d’you do?
