Thing #4 - Libraries


I had never used the MELSA map before -- very cool. Unfortunately, the link to my library in Washington County was not active. I've used Ask a Librarian many times, once to help me remember the name of a disco bar in Minneapolis that existed in the 70s, and most recently when I suddenly stopped receiving e-mail messages telling me when a book or CD I'd requested was in. Both questions were answered. Incidentally, while I love browsing my public library's shelves (the beautiful Stafford Library in Woodbury), I love even more the ability to order what I want online, get an e-mail when it's in, and dash over to the library to pick it up. It's so convenient.
On another note, I finally figured out how to resize pics from previous blogs. All you have to do is click on the pick and drag the corner. Duh..... Sometimes the answer is so simple and I waste too much time looking for all the hidden icons, tabs, etc.

About Me

My photo
Having gone back to school nearly every fall since 1955 either as a student, teacher or library media specialist, I find myself somewhere entirely new: in the unchartered land of the retired. I'm hoping this blog will help me find my legs. Well I guess someone else's legs would be better considering....
