This blog is an exploration of the role and management of public libraries and librarians.  There’s a lot happening, with new technologies and cultural trends affecting libraries in direct and indirect ways.

Although it has been implied that I am anti-book, this is definitely not the case.  What I mean by “it’s not about the books” is that for me librarianship is about sharing and encouraging the discussion of ideas and cultural records.  Books are a really great way of doing this, but they are just one technology.  It’s not about the books at the expense of what books are designed to do.  I think some librarians forget this.

You’ll get a sense of what I’m hoping to do in my first blog post.
