Book Calendar

http://www.bookcalendar.blogspot.com

This is a blog by Librarian who lives in New York. I really enjoy books, reading, and everything that has to do with books. I am not just interested in librarianship, I am also interested in all aspect of publishing and bookselling, include bookstores, book conventions, conferences, small presses, and many aspects of the publishing indusry. You might say, I am obsessed with books and everything that surrounds them. I don't just like your average everyday novel or bestseller. I also like graphic novels, coffee table books, science fiction books, science fiction art books, fantasy books, books on social networking, and books on clean technology. Sometimes I go off on a tangent like clean technology, green economics, and renewable energy. I am fascinated by the idea of a clean technology future and like to worldbuild what it might look like. I am not so much interested in the environment, but a future with clean air, clean technology, and a positive, healthy, vibrant world. I am strong believer in stewardship and natural capitalism as defined by Amory Lovins. This blog reflects my ideals, hopes, and dreams.

From the page: "Teaching yourself to learn for your own purposes is a gift. Not everyone is self directed. Libraries are a boon to this kind of thinking." This blog is full of resources on learning to use libraries effectively and much, much more.

That Flash Gordon clip is truly fascinating. I had know idea that the show existed in the 1930s. The show must have been amazing at the time.

Thanks for sharing.
