I had a paper accepted for the Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE) conference in November. It’ll be my first time visiting Buffalo. It’s the week after the Indiana Library Federation conference, so a busy month.
A nice surprise when I was skimming through the minutes from the recent Monon Civic Preservation Society meeting before putting them on our website! Thank you! You can keep up with all their work, and theatre restoration here: www.mononpreservation.org
I put together another little bed tonight in an extra room. It took me much longer than I expected. The cats will like it. 🐱 🛌 💤

A few new to me things from the history center sale, and the cats enjoying a crate.

I finally submitted the book draft to the publisher this evening. A preliminary draft of the cover they sent me yesterday.

I haven’t verified the accuracy of all these, but worth a share.
