Peeps at MY Library

Okay, I just couldn't resist having some photos taken of the Peep my friend Laura sent me earlier.

My yellow Peeplet checks out the library, and contemplates his Peepmanity

Peeplet and friend ask a reference question.

Thanks to Michael for the photography!

Peeps in the Library...on TV!

Perusing (as I do this time of year) the Peeps at the Library research from Millikin University, I notice that they've hit the big time! From their website:

CBS's Rita Braver came to Staley Library with a Chicago CBS film crew on March 2 to record an Easter feature for CBS News Sunday Morning - namely, to interview Susan Avery and Jen Masciadrelli about their creation of that famed Peeps page! This will be part of an Easter Sunday story about the Peeps, including a visit to the Peeps factory and a look into the varied uses that people make of this curious little sugar and marshmallow creature.

Yay, Peeps!

Gotta get me some new glasses...

Okay, I was monkeying around on that TV theme show site I posted about earlier, and went to a link about Jan Smithers, who played Bailey Quarters on WKRP in Cincinnati (a show I loved). So on the ClothMonkey site was a fan page to Jan, including this classic bit:

John Updike once wrote about plain, unadorned, natural women being "juicier" than the more conventionally attractive types, and as time has passed I have learned the great wisdom of that observation. All my best nights have been with librarians.

On the bright side...

IPL is 10 years old! And to think, I was there at its birth...and no sticky goo or anything!

Congrats, folks. You've earned the accolades!

I Love Books Like This

I'm such a geek, but I love books that tell you how to do day-to-day stuff you wonder about. Sadly, my library does not own a copy. We do have this one, however.
