Greetings from Estes Valley Library, CO

Following the Reference Renaissance Conference, I headed up the Estes Park, CO to hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. My head is filled with posts inspired by the conference, the cognitive cleansing of exercise and fresh air, and the FOX videos.

I thought I might blog – but the outdoors is calling me … so I’ll be back on Aug 23 with more extreme thoughts on public libraries. For now, enjoy a glimpse of the lovely Estes Valley Library!

A patron gets a peek

I’ve been at the Reference Renaissance 2010 conference in Denver since Sunday and it’s been incredibly illuminating and energizing. Many thanks to the BCR Library Network for their invitation to be a plenary panelist, generous hospitality and assistance connecting me with talented people from around the country, England and Canada.

What a priviledge it has been to be ‘let inside’ – to connect with library professionals unburdened by the need to demonstrate value with every statement … to see them for who they really are; not superheroes or crazy nordic warrior queens, but simply information professionals working to:

  • wade through the overgrown info landscape to clear a path for the rest of us
  • experiment with technology tools that will enhance and help contextualize our human experience
  • identify and remove barriers of access to info and human resources
