One of the best parts of being a librarian is seeing the impact the programs and community events have on the patrons being served. However, this is paralleled by the patron appreciation that can be seen as well. In communities where every-day needs are not being met and budgets, both inside and outside of the library are growing smaller, it is more important than ever to find creative and new ways to serve the community. Public libraries are excellent places to provide at-risk youth with…

U.S. Libraries in the 1960s The 1960s were a time of significant change for the United States, so much so this era is often referred to as “the rights revolution” (CrashCourse). The United States experienced the continuation of the Civil Rights Movement, the youngest elected president, John F.

In a country that was so fraught with change, it only seems fitting that libraries were…

Which team are you on? Do you take part in the “M-I-Z!” “Z-O-U!” chant? Or do you shout with pride “Rock Chalk!” “Jayhawk!”?

The schools have their pros and cons, yet one is not better than the other. At the…

Championship Team In fall 2011 I played basketball for my father’s friend team. Our team name was the wizards. We played all over the city, sometimes we would play out of town but mostly in St. Louis. Our season was coming to an end, but not before playoffs. Like college basketball in march madness if you lose a game, you are eliminated. We were a great team so we advanced through the first few rounds pretty easily. But our last three games were all difficult. Our first difficult game was…

Throughout this discussion on war and our government, Vonnegut throws in some insite on how sadness, through war or slavery, made music better, noting “the absolutely priceless gift which African Americans gave to the whole wild world when they were…
