You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians. ~ Monty Python (from Charlotte, NC Library)

Sign for biography section of my library made with discarded books and book pages. I cut the letters from the pages and a dark blue. I glued these to the front of the books and then used Gorilla glue to glue the books to a 1x4. Last step was to screw two books onto the end to hold the sign up.

Thank You Notes, originally uploaded by meddygarnet. --- Start a Gratitude Board. As I was scouring Flickr for photos to feature in this post I ran across the one above. Her company has a "Thank You Board" - whomever has the most notes each month wins Employee of the Month & is rewarded. Of course, whomever has been the employee of the month the most throughout the year becomes the employee of the year at the end of the year! Love this idea, so much.

Storytimes - Take a Break! We sometimes create mini-coupon books with coupons to redeem between the storyimes ("Get $.50 of your family's fines"; Get a free used book at our Friend's Bookshop"; "Get a high five and a Hershey kiss at the YS desk"; "Good for a book picked especially for you by your librarian). They are quick to make and remind our families that we hope to see them often.

Conserving chained books --- Dr. Rosemary Firman, librarian of Hereford Cathedral, uses a conservation vacuum as she finishes cleaning one of the historic manuscripts in the cathedral's peculiar Chained Library during the annual spring clean on Jan. 24 in Hereford, England. The famous Chained Library contains 1,500 books, including 227 medieval manuscripts. Given the delicate state of the literary works, specialists and trained volunteers must spend a week out of the year cleaning the entire collection. Chaining books for security was widespread in libraries from the Middle Ages to the 18th century, and Hereford Cathedral's 17-century Chained Library is the largest to survive with all its chains, rods and locks intact.

In 1982 the Design and Exhibits staff at the Dallas Public Library put on an exhibit titled "Their Indelible Mark: Rubber Stamps and Libraries". Jonathan Held who served as curator of the exhibit wrote about it in the December 1982 issue of American Libraries. After the idea for the exhibit of library rubber stamps was conceived, the staff of the Dallas Public Library issued a call to the library community to send them rubber stamps no longer in use. As a result they received a phenomenal collection of 5,000 rubber stamps from 37 states, Canada, Japan, and Saudi Arabia. The staff selected 821 for their 6 week exhibit. Held indicated that for the most part the stamps revealed the different tasks library workers perform, patterns of library service, and ways information is categorized and disseminated. Some were more unusual, however. One included the following message: THIS MATERIAL WAS PRINTED BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN; THEREFORE, THE PHILOSOPHY EXPRESSED MAY NOT BE CONSISTENT WITH THAT OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION Another one had this message: THE PASSAGE OF THE JARVIS/GANN AMENDMENT RESULTS IN NO FUNDING FOR THE LIBRARY, AT LEAST TEMPORARILY. YOUR REQUEST CANNOT BE FILLED. SORRY. Held ends his article which includes numerous illustrations of stamp messages with this comment: "It appears that rubber stamps may be among the first casualties of the Information Revolution, and that another facet of Americana may vanish. But they have served to remind us of how often clues to the essential nature of things are found in the most commonplace artifacts of daily life." This is why we as a library community should seek to preserve such artifacts. I was the fortunate recipient of a collection of these rubber stamps which were being deaccessioned by a library. A photo of my collection is shown below. Posted by Larry T.
