Mr and Mrs Prince

I’m just settling down to read Mr and Mrs Prince, new to our collection. About Abijah Prince and Lucy Terry Prince, who are Guilford personalities, and written by Gretchen Gerzina, who researched some of it while she lived in Guilford, many folks have asked to read it. So we have three copies. And if I can remember how, I’ll put it in the Guilford Bookblog.

Actually, that was the point but I forgot how to get to it. So, I guess I’m still working on thing 7. I did finally figure it out. A person can get really dizzy, whizzing around the web like this. Time to move on to rss. Started the reading, it seems like a handy thing- I guess.

INTRODUCING……..

What great fun. I spent the day fixing links and cleaning up the website. I played around with the idea I had had a while ago about doing book lists of new acquisitions, reviews and stuff, and trying to make it a part of our website.

So, after a VERY painful three hour or more meeting, I was too TOO to sleep, so I made a new blog and put it into our website. And it works. This has great possibilities. Let’s just see if I can keep it up.

I’m not doing very well with FLICKR, yet. I’ll keep trying.

a photo album

For the past few years I’ve wanted to put up, on our web site, a little photo album of things happening at the library
It’s a great idea, but the few times I’ve tried it, I really clogged up the site. It uses up too much space, making it difficult to update the site.

Of course, I could clean up my files, that would probably help. Last night I was thinking about doing it through FLICKR. This wouldn’t use space on the library’s site, and I could set up some kind of a password system for Guilford patrons. Do I need that? I think I’ll try that.

Back to Domino Toppling. Galen, who is 7, showed me what he considers the best site. There’s a lot of stuff out there. Got a great comment yesterday -”…How about an interlibrary domino toppling event? Could we use all our dontated/unwanted books?” I love the idea of using books. I think I’ll try it to see if it works.

But interlibrary. How could that work?????? This is technology week. Let’s get moving, little grey cells.
