I wanted to write a grand post to say goodbye to 2011 like I did in 2010, but I kept coming up short. I don’t have some grand message to pass along this year. I had my ups and my downs this year as a person and as a librarian. I said goodbye to some things, and I said hello to other new opportunities. It was a year for getting things in order.
If I were a band and was asked to make an album from my writings this year, he’s how the track list would look:
Make Music at the Library
This is a Call
Thank You Harper Collins (for making the path forward a little clearer)
Library Idea Share
What I Learned From My Father
A Possible Organizational Chart For A Public Library
Seven Things Libraries Should Be Doing
Programming is Great, But…

I welcome 2012 with open arms and wish the best for everyone reading this, their families, and their friends.
I’ll be pretty MIA for the rest of 2011. My wife Haley and I are expecting our second child any day now, so I take the librarian hat off and put the full time family hat on.

What a wonderful way to end a year. May all of you sometimes sleep. But I have to warn you my experience is that even in the midst of diapers, you’ll find yourself grabbing a board book and thinking. Hmmm I wonder if I could get my teens to create …
Blessings on you all.
