National Library Week

Fun Fact from the ALA: Reference librarians in the nation’s public and academic libraries answer more than seven million questions weekly. Standing single file, the line of questioners would stretch from Boston to San Francisco.

Happy National Library Week. No one warned me so I didn't plan any festivities. But its nice to know that libraries gave themselves a week for recognition. (Of course now if we could only get better funding...) Maybe I'll dress up today in honor of that, and see how many of those seven million questions I can answer!

Its also Poetry Month...And while I'm not really big on poetry (unless its limericks or Shel Silverstein), I do like the Academy of American Poets website when I'm looking for poetic info.

Yay for libraries! And librarians, of course. :)
