A librarian is always surrounded by facts and fiction, whether on the shelves, online or in the world around her. It's her challenge and her joy to revel in the fantasies and stories that enrich our hearts and souls and to cut out the fallacies and dead ends to get to the truth. This blog is about a personal and professional search for both truth and fiction and how to tell the difference.
Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.

Hysterically Historical Librarians
"The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different." Aldous Huxley
My friend and colleague, Kari, send me this link to a 1947-vintage movie about librarianship as a career. It is always worthwhile to visit our past, so we can more effectively understand our present and create our future.
