First Try

It's my first try, so please be kind.... Current mood: optimistic

Hey there--
I figure it's about time that I start one of these dang "blogs," as the kids call 'em. Not sure if I'll have enough to say, but I'll start rambling and try to stop when the crazy kicks in.

I'm a reference librarian at a small public library in the suburban Chicagoland area. I'm sorry, not reference librarian, but Information Services librarian. Yeesh. Anyway, I've been a "real" librarian for about 5 years, but have worked in libraries since about 1991. I was recently made "High School Liaison" to the local high school, so if anyone has any tips on getting teenagers into the library, I'd love to hear them.

Another tidbit: I just had a milestone birthday and had been freaking out lately: crabbiness; distractibility; and becoming addicted to Second Life. But I've cancelled my SL account and am trying to stay rooted in RL. I could use tips on this as well.

Miscellaneous information: I'm a wife and mother; I watch too much tv; and I used to play the cello (badly) in high school.

So, that's me, in a nutshell. Any questions? Any comments? Any remarks? I'd like to hear 'em.
