Learning Outside the Library
I feel inspired, rejuvenated and connected!
I've just returned from the annual Wisconsin Library Association conference and I've been sorting through the workshop handouts, vendor pamphlets, business cards and photos on my phone. I've had a flurry of emails sealing new connections, a few LinkedIn invites and set up two working lunch meetings. I'm reflecting on conversations about racial literacy, coding clubs for kids and adults and eliminating overdue fines for all. I tested out new technologies I loved like the
Simple Scan
and the next generation of Ozobots.
And I'm sharing my enthusiasm and what I learned with my coworkers and the public, both directly and indirectly.
Attending the annual conference is a key way to stay apprised of trends, connect with other area librarians and leaders, and to continue learning. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity.

Last to See Me
by M. Dressler
Emma Rose Finnis has been dead for 100 years, but she still inhabits the village she grew up in and haunts the old Lambry house. Now a ghost hunter has been recruited to cleanse the Victorian-era mansion, but Emma Rose refuses to leave. Jumping from past to present,
The Last to See Me is a captivating modern-day ghost story told from the spirit's point of view with just the right amount of "scary."

When food and good writing come together, it's a win for me. This memoir, told in a casual style as though you were just chatting with Chef Alice Waters, is a great example. Waters
- owner of Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California and credited with creation of "California cuisine" - takes us through her early life, tracing the way things she saw, heard, did and, of course, tasted, inspired her to open a restaurant.

Tracing the history of animal rescue in Ireland, and other parts of the world, Schenone confronts her own biases about animals and discovers the complicated history of human-animal relationships, in particular with sporting dogs like Greyhounds who were long seen as unfit to be pets. Heartwarming, inspiring and, at turns, maddening and shocking, this is a necessary read for animal lovers everywhere
