Readers have expressed appreciation for the research and perspective I (try) to bring to the blog, and it’s a reflection of the support I receive from the staff of the Beaman Memorial Public Library.
Each week they field my phone calls and emails asking about library policies and practices. They share important perspectives about municipal governance and challenge my thinking on various subjects, which is so vital. And of course they acquire lots of materials for me from academic libraries and databases I never knew existed.
So, in case I haven’t said it often enough — THANK YOU to Louise, Sue G, Sue S, Steve, Ginny, Lauren, Cecile, Jackie, and Denise! I truly appreciate what you do.






It’s always a pleasure working with you
