Hi folks,

I started this group because it seems like StumbleUpon would attract a lot of librarians and other people who care about information sharing and community and such. What brings you here?

Myself, I work in reference in an academic library, and hope to get a Real Job as a librarian in a rural public library. I have geeky dreams about co-op neighborhood libraries with all-open-source networks where dogs and bare feet are welcome.

What are you all about?

Greetings Friends, All for it. What brings me here? I am a frustrated "Neologist", I am more into words, so I am able to find my way around libraries. Have been a "Friend of the Library" in Orlando, Fl and now San Clemente, CA. Thank you Amy. Comely1

I am always ready and willing to assist anyone in my library barn. I do like a challenge once in awhile from genealogy to libraries "biting the bullet".

LibraryBarn: Interesting! Do you get questions from other stumblers? And what is your avatar, by the way (the rock)?

What a trip!! I was just commenting to someone on SU last week how many LIS folks there are here (or that I ran across many I think are LIS). Public L'n. Greetings, All!

Comely1, that's excellent. Has anyone seen A Bibliophile's Bedroom?

It's on display at the Boston Public Library right now, but I haven't ventured out there yet. Apparently the rocking chair (built out of books) is functional.

#4 No, I usually help outside of Stumble. As for the avatar, it is from this site: wupcenter.mtu.edu/education/workshop/face_in_rock/photos.htm [wupcenter.mtu.edu/education/workshop/face_in_rock/photos.htm]
