Norma’s blogging about what librarians do at ALA

Inspired by feelings of inadequacy over not remembering many of the books that I’ve read on that classics list that’s been going around many blogs and Granny Next’s bedtime reading in The Well of Lost Plots (find it at your library), I’m actually going to attempt to read some classic works of literature between trips [...]

I just realized that I’m going to be getting out of boston (via boston common) during part of the democratic national convention.
