    After reading the first two books of the Wicked series, I'm so excited for this to be made into a film. :D

    Yeah!!! for libraries! They are such an awesome community resource. I'm glad they're getting such wonderful nationwide attention right now.

    It surprises me that CBS news is saying that because ALL Philadelphia libraries have been shut down and Phoenix libraries hours were shortened to only a few hours a day. The people may want them but the cities don't have the money. How sad! Glad Chasing Fire was #1, no surprise there!!!!!!

    Well, what can I say? Being a librarian is pretty much one of the best things to be ever. :-) I'm glad I caught on to it before it became a trend--ha ha!

    And as for libraries booming, it makes me envious as 3/4 of my library's budget was cut, and we can only buy what makes it on the bestseller list. Plus we had to cancel one of our best databases that patrons loved. And we can't update our computers now. When will legislation realize that cutting a library's budget hurts the entire community?!

    Sorry. Rant over.

    I'm still working on this weekly feature. I'm sure hoping it gets better each week as I get the kinks out.
