Fall workshop
.
Live from the Montana State Fall Workshop @ Lewistown
I am sitting in the Web 2.0 class at the Fall Workshop in Lewistown, learning about blogs, Myspace and other social software. If only there were only more time in the day. I just learned how it's better to do a post in Edit Html rather than compose. A lightbulb goes off.
The drive here was so beautiful and I saw hundreds of antelope and wild turkey. I wonder if you can raise wild turkeys? Hmm, maybe I should get a book!

Last day of Sirsi SuperConference
I've learned some interesting stuff about sharing library resources and getting them into the patrons hands. I heard about one library who partners with Netflix to get videos to their library patrons. Isn't that cool? So many new ways to serve the public and so little time to implement them. I intend to start a Whitehall Wicki soon and to have podcast available with Whitehall related stories.

Long time no see
Our book club, Whitehall Reads, will be meeting to discuss Mary MacLane's book "The Story of Mary MacLane" February 22nd, 6:30 at the library. "The Story of Mary MacLane" was 20 year old Mary's diary and after its publication she became known as "The Wild Woman of Butte!" The diary revealed her innermost thoughts about her sexuality and how much she hated Butte, things one just didn't talk about in those days. The books sold 80,000 copies in the first month, something quite unheard of in 1902. Here's a link to a Wikipedia entry about her and a review of the book at the Montana Historical Society.
On March 17th, St. Patrick's Day at 2:00, we will be having Molly Kruckenberg with the Montana Historical Society present "A Taste of Montana: A history of cookbooks and cooking in Montana." "The history of food and cooking in Montana is as old and varied as the human occupation of the state, and cookbooks provide a window into this transient artform. Weaving together changes in food preparation and technology with the correlating changes in cookbooks, this program shows how cookbooks can be used to explore social and cultural changes in our history. Using illustrations from historic cookbooks, A Taste of Montana provides a delicious way to rediscover the past." Irish soda bread and tea will be served.
