More PLA

I haven't had the best luck getting good pictures here at PLA. This picture of me was taken on Wednesday at a delicious free lunch given by EBSCO, which provides databases to libraries (including ours, through the state). The person across the table who I recruited to take the picture did take it, but then made a disparaging comment about people who have pictures taken of themselves. I thought it might be a little more interesting than a sign like I posted earlier, though! It also makes clear that I need to ease up on the blush a bit - my goodness I look sunburned!

The highlight of my day today was a luncheon with children's author John Szieszka (prounounced "Sheska," rhymes with Fresca) who wrote The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, Math Curse, and the Time Warp Trio books, among others. His hilarious talk was about attracting boy readers to the library, especially through humor. He had the enthusiastic audience laughing non-stop. I think I have a favorite author now. I deeply regret not getting a good picture of him... Actually, I really wanted a picture of me AND him, but I was afraid that woman would give me a hard time about it, ha!
