One of our youth librarians did that with her iPhone at Borders for collection development purposes. Of course, when I was at PLA, I spent all my free time at Powell's. My wife asked me what I did in Portland. I said I went to Powell's. Did you go anywhere else? (looking sheepishly) No, I went to Powell's.

Was it using the...Hello Anonymous is Nevada County. Was it using the word "shit" that freaked you out? Please come and have a look at some of the books on our shelves. This library has NEVER been weeded and it's history goes back to 1850's. Many of the books that are coming off the shelves are going straight into our archival collection. (Where they should have been in the first place.) Many of the books would give a collections development librarian a heart attack they are so old (physically falling apart) and outdated.<br /><br />Hates books? I don't think so. You're on the site of someone whose whole life is about books and reading.<br /><br />Wiccan? No, I'm a pagan. There's a difference. Look it up.<br /><br />As my site suggests, I'm not "you mother's librarian" and my language may sometimes be a little rough. But as you point out, this is the 21st century and most many taboos are simply no longer relevant. Or, what exactly was the point you were making about being ready for the 21st century?Lorebrarian.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05864045540429761250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178687955983278769.post-4545480358553972132010-02-28T14:07:04.574-08:002010-02-28T14:07:04.574-08:00Apparently a librarian who hates books...

The Bokomat is at SFO, the Customs Broker is in Torrance, the items were shipped from Venice, and I'm still trying to get more information from Niclas in Sweden!
