Justine, This is a wonderful blog. Well done!
What a wonderfully fresh librarian you are! Brock’s students are certainly very lucky to have you!
What a great idea! Great work.
Keep it up!
Hey Justine:
I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your opinion piece in this Month’s issue of American Libraries.
I think we librarians need to be existentialists and constantly redefine ourselves moment to moment.
Like you, I had some idyllic preconceptions about librarianship (of the wing chair and wainscot variety) that seem pretty silly in retrospect.
Enjoy the summer in St. Kitty!
Jeffrey Hastings
Well done Justin !
