June 14th, 2011 Brian HerzogHey, check it out - my website won the 2011 Salem Press Library Blog Award for the Public Library category!
What a nice way to come back from vacation.
Thank you to everyone who voted, and to everyone who reads my website. It's great to get feedback that lets me know people find what I have to say useful and helpful.

I read quite a few of these blogs (and quite a few others as well). One thing I like most about the field of librarianship is our spirit of collaboration and cooperation - there is no way I could do what I do without all the people I swipe ideas from.
Thank you again everyone - I'll try to keep earning this.
